FORT WORTH — A man ac
cused of cutting down a prostitute
with multiple shotgun blasts,
killing two other people in a
soured drug deal and shooting an
other during a carjacking was mis
takenly on parole during the crime
spree, a judge says.
“If there’s a legal way to hold
the parole board accountable for
this, I want to pursue it,” state Dis
trict Judge Sharen Wilson said
Wednesday of the release of Ronnie
Dee Hall in June 1991, only four
months into an eight-year sentence.
Even Hall’s defense attorney
agreed that state parole officials
erred.
“They screwed up; there’s no
question about it,” said defense at
torney Jack Strickland, Hall’s attor
ney in a recent murder trial.
“I’ve seen a great many cases
where you can say the parole au
thorities misjudged somebody and
never should have let him out. I’ve
never seen an instance like this
where they flatly, absolutely made
a mistake regarding the law.”
Wilson, who signed the eight-
year judgment against Hall on Dec.
27, 1990, called the parole board’s
action a “travesty.” Hall pleaded
guilty to dealing cocaine in ex
change for the sentence, which re
quired him to serve at least one-
tnird of the term.
“It’s a travesty getting eight
months for eight years when
everyone involved, the attorneys,
the judge, said two years mini
mum,” Wilson said. “It’s not for
the parole board to replace our
judgment in the community with
their own.”
David Nunnelee, a spokesman
for the Texas Criminal Justice De
partment Institutional Division in
Huntsville, said a preliminary re
view of Hall’s case indicatedi
prison personnel didn't see :::|
mation showing he had showi|
used a weapon during commissi
of the crime.
Records indicate that the pc
board, which made its decisiot
release Hall in May 199], cons
ered releasing him even earlier,
March 3, 1991, when he had!
in prison less than a month.
Hall was arrested Oct. 26,19ij
was held in the Tarrant Count))
pending trial and was senter.:!
Dec. 27, 1990. He remained in ;
until he was transferred to
Feb. 8. 1991.
