Parole Board Recommends Early Parole for Shaffer
The Massachusetts parole board urged consideration of early parole for Roberta Shaffer, a 28 year old convict serving up to five years for manslaughter in the 1971 basement shooting. Her 11 year old daughter Evie has cystic fibrosis and requires breathing therapies, prompting Gov Dukakis to seek a plan allowing family care during any sentence. The governor declined to commute the sentence but ordered furlough and possible living arrangements at Framingham. A June 16 parole hearing was offered to address the family crisis.
