Parole Controversy Over Shercliffe Case Reveals Ties and Tactics
Secretary Shaw emphasizes parole timing after the Nebraska congressman's election and a later withdrawal letter from Judge Hubbard. The parole would cost four years of good time, though Shercliffe showed reform and was re-arrested upon violation. Cedar Rapids attorney Ho McMillan claims Dennison paid legal expenses and steers a strictly legal presentation based on youth and good prison record, with no political influence.
