Parolees Free During Appeals as High Court Review Looms
In Manchester New Hampshire paroled murderers Frederick Martineau and Russell Nelson Jr. won a temporary freedom while Gov. Meldrim Thomson seeks a state supreme court ruling on his power to order their return to prison.

The hearing, moved from Concord to Manchester due to heat and noise, addressed whether parole board rule violations justify parole revocation, with Martineau 47 of Pawtucket among those discussed.
