Update on the parole hearing held on June 27th for John Matthew Ray, the murderer of my son, Chad Norris. Parole was DENIED!! We have another 5 years before the next hearing. I wish it could have been more, but this will do for now. With the letters that I received from my friends, Chad’s friends, my family and those of you who responded to the request in the CAH Newsletter and website, we received over 100 letters. The Parole Representatives said that was way more then they usually see. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who contributed a parole opposition letter against the release of murderer, John Matthew Ray. Score one for the good guys. Thank you, thank you…
