Final Here Report Parole Near

A 1954 parole case involves the Finn twins who fought for ownership of an airplane after a court battle. They were found guilty of interfering with a government official, sentenced to a year, and began hunger strikes over bail and appeal delays. While jailed, they spoke in Long Beach asserting their eventual return of the aircraft. The appellate court upheld the sentence in 1955, with the federal decision on airplane ownership still under government appeal. The brothers later hunger struck in Springfield, forced feeding reportedly occurred, and a Senate rights committee hearing was promised.
