The Louisiana Board of Pardons and Parole convened on November 20, 2024, to conduct a revocation and parole hearing, during which several family members of the offender, Ahmad Beck, presented statements in support of his release.

The meeting began with the acknowledgment of four individuals wishing to speak on behalf of Ahmad Beck. The first speaker was Parthenia Beck, Ahmad's mother, who expressed her belief in her son's potential for rehabilitation. She shared a personal account of their emotional connection during her visits, highlighting Ahmad's struggles, including his battle with lung cancer. Parthenia emphasized her forgiveness and her hope that Ahmad would be granted parole, stating, "If God spent your life, I promise God that if I get out of here, I'm gonna take care of you for the rest of your life."

Following her statement, the panel moved to hear from Ahmad's father, Matthew Beckett. However, there were technical difficulties as he struggled to unmute himself, which delayed his participation. The panel assured him they would return to him after hearing from the next speaker.

The next speaker was Ahmad's daughter, who passionately advocated for her father's release. She described her father as a man who has shown remorse and made significant personal growth during his two decades of incarceration. She reflected on the memories they shared and the impact of his absence on their family, stating, "My daddy has been in prison for 20 years of my life, and I have nothing but great memories with my father."

The meeting underscored the emotional weight of family testimonies in parole hearings, as relatives conveyed their hopes for rehabilitation and reintegration into society. The panel's deliberations will consider these heartfelt appeals alongside the offender's history and behavior while incarcerated. The outcome of the hearing remains pending, with the board expected to make a decision regarding Ahmad Beck's parole status in the coming days.
