Paroled killer freed after Riley staff appeals on his behalf
James Alston, serving life plus 18 years for the 1972 liquor store robbery and murder of Joseph A. Moluf Jr., was paroled after Gov. Riley staff urged the parole board. Prosecutor Condon condemned the intervention, while Alston planned to work for Tungsten Industries and marry soon.
