Parole commissioners decided 70-year-old Frederick Woods was no longer a danger to the public after previous panels had denied him parole 17 times.
"I’ve had empathy for the victims which I didn’t have then," Woods said. "I’ve had a character change since then."
"This is an individual who’s demonstrated how dangerous he is. He’s ruined the lives of dozens of these kids — they still struggle, a lot of them, with the aftereffects of this," Madera County District Attorney Sally Moreno said after the decision. James Schoenfeld once told parole officials that he envied friends who had "his-and-hers Ferraris." Woods said during an earlier parole hearing that he just "got greedy."
"I believe you have served enough time for the crime you committed," said survivor Larry Park, who supported Woods’ release along with Rebecca Reynolds Dailey. But Park added that "I’m concerned about the addiction you may have about money," urging Woods to consider getting treatment.
