An 80-year-old man, Chung Ho, who admitted to fatally shooting New Jersey Police Officer David Douglass in 1995, has been granted parole, sparking outrage and disbelief among law enforcement and legal experts.
David Gelman, a criminal defense attorney, expressed his shock at the decision, calling it a 'slap in the face' to Officer Douglass' memory and his family. Ho, who pleaded guilty to murder, aggravated arson, and burglary charges, will be released in September 2024.
