I am married to Phillip Lopez, Eydie's son. Every time we, as a family, hear the name Mark Lugo mentioned we are reminded of the devastating heartbreak that he caused so many people and the void in our hearts we will have forever. Recently in California, on Thursday March 5th, 2015 Lugo was granted parole, our worst nightmare came to life again. I am writing you in hopes that, if you can, you will advise Gov. Jerry Brown to reverse this decision made by the parole hearing board and keep Lugo behind bars where killers belong. Ethically, if you know someone has murdered and you have them in custody why would you ever let them go free into a world where he could kill again, even though Lugo said during the most recent parole hearing on March 5th that he would "probably" never do it again. Probably? Why would you even take a risk, a chance, a second thought? He was praised at the hearing for taking classes, having good behavior and completing tasks that were noted in previous parole hearings. As he sat there on March 5th, he still showed no remorse for what he had done and simply went through the motions. What else would someone like him occupy his time with in prison other than going through all the channels you can to be released? 29% of parole discharges returned to prison were re-incarcerated for murder. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Kristin Lopez
