Louisiana man convicted of the 1979 killing of his roommate and another friend is being released after 42 years in prison, after his life sentence without possibility of parole was recently commuted.
The board’s decision came after a nearly 90-minute hearing, during which the victims’ relatives testified. Almost all of them spoke against releasing him.
“You’ve done harm, you’ve healed yourself, and now you’re healing others,” Wise told Chenevert, who appeared at the meeting via a video conferencing web feed from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. The state Board of Pardons and Parole voted 4-1 to commute his sentence after a December hearing, citing his good conduct, participation in several rehabilitation programs, a low risk-assessment score and “demonstrated growth through service to others.”“I am not the devil,” Chenevert said. “I am the face of rehabilitation.”“I am sorry for the pain and hurt I’ve put in each of your families,” he said.
