Law Professor Explains Parole Reforms Before And After Darell Dennis Murder Case

Pulaski County Sheriff's Office

Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Chris Piazza will hear the start of a trial today of Darell Dennis, an eight-time parole absconder, accused of murdering an 18-year-old man weeks after he was released on parole in 2013.

The incident led to greater restrictions in the state’s parole system.  University of Arkansas at Fayetteville law professor Laurent Sacharoff spoke with KUAR about reforms that had preceded the murder and were redirected afterwards.
