Nightside With Dan Rea

Another MA convicted murderer originally facing life without parole is set free after being parole eligible under MA's new ruling that emerging adults, those 18 to 20 at the time of the offense, could not be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Former Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson's husband Tanzerious Anderson, who was convicted of murdering Imam Yazbek during a robbery at the age of 19, will be released. Is this fair? While the Parole Board in its decision said Anderson has addressed his need areas through several programs and deems him "compatible with the welfare of society", do you think his release is still warranted? We discussed in general MA's ruling on parole eligibility for emerging adults aged 18-20.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
