Ex-inmate may get second chance on outside
Riverside County Superior Court Judge John Neblett set a Jan 20 hearing to determine if Henry R. Cortez a 37 year old former heroin dealer can have his year minimum term revised. Cortez was paroled Nov 2 after nine years but returned to Folsom after an eight day freedom due to a clerical error. He has since lived in Lincoln California with his three daughters, found work, and left welfare. Neblett may dismiss a prior heroin possession conviction from the sentencing formula, which would make Cortez immediately eligible for parole again.
