Nebraska state Sen. Ernest Chambers urged parole for Miss Fugate, arguing imprisonment beyond parole serves no purpose and she can reintegrate with church support. Relatives of two victims pressed the board to keep her imprisoned for life, stating the jury’s intent. Mrs Jensen opposed parole, saying punishment must fit the crime, and relatives of Coral King supported the contention.
