This family found out that Life in Prison does not mean Life in Prison, it means until the Parole board decides to release the heinous criminal.
Kim Harrington: In 1983, Dean Hernandez murdered my twin sister Kathy Durman in Port Arthur Texas. He is serving a life sentence. This was not his first offense. In 1976, he was sentenced to 10 years in the Texas State Prison for the attempted murder of another former girlfriend. This offense took place in Groves, Texas. For the last 16 years, my family, Kathy's friends, and myself have fought very parole hearing against the parole of Dean Hernandez, and will continue to do so! For everyone whose has to go through this I say to you...... "Never give up!"
peace be with you - Kim Harrington and Family
"I'm tired of digging Kathy up every three years," she said. "We can't finish grieving because of the parole hearings"
Hernandez is currently incarcerated at the Stringfellow Unit in Rosharon where he is classified as an attendant at the unit. He will come up for parole review late this year. He has served time in Huntsville, East Ham Unit, Darrington and Michael Unit, according to Jason Clark with the Texas Department of Corrections.
There are thousands of cases like this. You support this system, I don't. I can explain my position, you can't or are afraid to. |
