Nicolais: A grieving grandmother helps reform Colorado law to catch parole review errors
A Colorado grandmother, Leeann, advocated for reforms to the state's parole system after her grandson Zel was murdered by Deangelo Luarks, who had been released due to parole review errors. The reforms, passed earlier this year and signed by the governor, aim to address systemic failures in parole evaluations that contributed to Zel's death and other tragedies.
