Parole Denied for Richard Speck in Nurses Murders Case
The Illinois Parole Board rejected Richard Speck's bid after a five minute hearing. Family members and law enforcement urged keeping him imprisoned, citing the eight nurses killed in Chicago ten years earlier. Speck, 34, serves 400 to 1,200 years and will have annual hearings, with a September 1977 review set.
