For prison inmate Jimmy Lee Page, a "not guilty" verdict did not mean freedom: State parole system can trump a jury's verdict with its own

Date: April 15, 2007

Author: Chuck Lindell

QUOTE: Page is in prison today because state officials revoked his parole — trumping the jury's verdict with their own finding of guilt ... Last year, 91 Texas parolees were returned to prison after being charged with a new crime, even though the charges against them were later dropped or they were acquitted in court.
