Contractually, Dorian Finney-Smith’s seven-season Mavericks tenure ended on Feb. 6, when he was traded to Brooklyn as part of the Kyrie Irving-to-Dallas...

that Dallas had become his second home and that part of him will always be connected to the franchise. The reporter told Finney-Smith he’d heard about efforts to get his father paroled and that developments seemed promising.Elbert Smith was born and raised in St. Louis, Mo. After high school, he enlisted in the Navy and was stationed in Norfolk, Va., where he met Desiree Finney.

According to court records and testimony, McGann and Smith each had a handgun. A skirmish ensued, with Anderson attempting to wrest McGann’s gun. Smith told police he lunged at Anderson with a knife, causing Anderson to let go of McGann’s gun.McGann admitted to police that after regaining control of the gun, he fired three shots at Anderson, who staggered outside, collapsed into a ditch and died.

“Mr. Smith has served a significant and sufficient time of incarceration. He has shown, through his recent institutional record and his successful completion of institutional programming, and as reflected in the letters of his family, that he is ready to lead a law-abiding and productive life.” For the next four-and-a-half years, Smith spent two years in solitary confinement at each supermax prison, Wallens Ridge and Red Onion. During both stints he spent 24 hours a day in a dimly lit 9-by-14-foot cell, except for one hour on shower or recreation days.

“Despite significant adverse conditions, Mr. Smith did not turn to violence or rebellion,” Kilgore noted in his memo to the parole board. “Instead he utilized the legal system to ensure he had the opportunity to work on his correctional programming despite his placement in solitary.”Amplifying the challenge of Elbert Smith’s case, and scores of others in Virginia, was the state’s longstanding legal and philosophical stance on paroles.

Elbert Smith’s parole application and the Jan. 25 hearing in Richmond swayed the board to strongly consider his unique circumstance, but the review process continued as two board members cycled out.
