Hoffa Parole Bid Foiled By Judge Ruling On Terms
A federal judge denied a motion to consolidate Hoffa's two prison terms, blocking an earlier parole route. Hoffa remains imprisoned on pension fraud and jury tampering sentences totaling thirteen years, with the Teamsters presidency likely passing to Frank Fitzsimmons if he cannot be released. The Parole Board last month said Hoffa must serve at least 14 more months, diminishing chances for re election.
