The Indiana state board of pardons recommended a parole for Reuben Wheat, a Sullivan County man who served over five years of a life sentence for the Hymera area murder of Andy White. The board noted manslaughter as the charge, with a life term deemed excessive, and imposed parole conditions including abstinence from alcohol.
