Man gets parole after retrial conviction in 1995 killing
A New York man who was recently retried and convicted for a second time in a 1995 killing is set to get out of prison on parole as soon as next month.
The Parole Board decided this month to release Eliseo DeLeon as early as Jan. 19, the state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision said in a statement.
DeLeon had become eligible to seek parole immediately when he was sentenced in September to 20 years to life in prison, as he’d already served about 24 years.
