I have, every time. His sentence was 85 years, but it was reduced to 60 since a life sentence in Texas is 60 years.
My advice to you .... if they grant him a release get as much public light and scrutiny on this as you can. Take your story to the local TV stations, Facebook, radio stations, whatever. Politicians HATE to have any sunshine bearing down on their despicable actions and would probably cringe at the thought of being outed as sympathetic to a brutal rapist.
And please don't be ashamed. Go into detail of what he did and everyone will be on your side.
Best of luck, sweetheart.
