Maguez, DOC number 616023, is serving a long sentence for vehicle homicide; the board noted she has served about seven and a half years of what the panel described as a 25-year sentence and has a projected good-time release date of July 28, 2026.
The victim's mother, Melissa Fritz, told the panel she is \"completely against\" Maguez's release and said the crash was not an accident but a consequence of driving while \"completely obliterated.\" Fritz said she had been told at sentencing that Maguez would receive maximum penalty \"with no chance of parole\" and urged the board not to shorten the sentence. The victim's sister, Sarah Sarudi, said she was present when family members told three children that their mother had died and that the children continue to grieve.
Maguez told the board she has participated in AA and substance-abuse-related classes and has worked in a community work-release assignment at a Subway for more than a year. The board recorded that she had 'no write-ups' in the facility and that institutional staff said she has shown good behavior.
Panel members cited the seriousness of the offense, the applicant's prior DWI history and the lack of in-prison treatment for some needs as reasons to deny parole. Chairman Prater said he would vote to deny and emphasized the need for \"some real treatment, some in house treatment\" before reconsideration. Carolyn Stapleton recorded that Maguez had shown \"deliberate indifference towards public safety\" and noted opposition from the DA and sheriff. The vote to deny was unanimous and was recorded at 10:02 a.m.
Board members encouraged Maguez to continue programming while incarcerated and suggested facility staff explore victim-awareness or treatment courses where available. The board made no motion to reopen the case at the hearing.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PAROLE HEARING- JULY 23, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Committee on Parole unanimously denied Leslie Maguez's parole request July 23 after testimony from the victim's mother and sister and review of the applicant's record; board cited public-safety concerns and victim opposition.","taxTitle","Committee on Parole, Boards & Commissions, Organizations, Executive, Louisiana","taxId",24992,"location","Louisiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_46":81,"_48":82,"_50":83,"_52":84,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":85,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":86,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6154996,"Parole denied for Derek Wilkes; board recommends transfer for substance-abuse and domestic-violence programming",1092,1480000,2572000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5481495-af194ee26d74c2fe32ec8e56229545ad&start=1480&end=2572","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5481495-af194ee26d74c2fe32ec8e56229545ad/thumbnail_1480000.jpg","/articles/6154996/Louisiana/Parole-denied-for-Derek-Wilkes-board-recommends-transfer-for-substance-abuse-and-domestic-violence-programming","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6154996-7b3d9370430136fd01766a097bfeb08e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771118206&Signature=HnKck2N84OwG5UUtznCD-5qgPu1hezy228sVKqbRE1VkLJD2GFXmfFCtsF-9dii~Dr8GfcW-s~Ymbx74SlQ6BQaRDjODpNpQ3TbQDJQowU~Wtv17WxerCAZPXziOaxXRiOc0wm14b1yaTXqT85w3I74iasHPT-~St~cF0~5yeFfPS0XihwmMeQPtOV9GD5KI9PgM90SVmzVoi2XvLazEN05ctGqVD3GntraHTvCP0hYUwMd060fztgUSM2AqjrJjC69ksmAZ4DOgh1Q5XC1W4kk7nQRi78l3xRY0VhvWZOV~k4uLZBnD2yCrAqzWrpbsMwVMETh76EMtB0hZUnyoRQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BATON ROUGE ' The Louisiana Committee on Parole denied Derek Wilkes's request for early release July 23 but recorded a strong recommendation that he be moved to a facility that offers substance-abuse and domestic-violence programming.
Wilkes, who the panel identified as having charges that include illegal possession and carrying of a weapon, aggravated assault of a dating partner with a deadly weapon, and indecent behavior involving a 16-year-old, told the board he had no disciplinary write-ups and had completed anger-management classes at his facility. He has been incarcerated about two years, the hearing record shows.
Wilkes spoke to the panel about the incident that led to his arrest and said, \"I told him that I had the gun on me, and, so they arrested me. Also with that, I'd had a text message with a 16 year old girl that was inappropriate, and I was wrong for that.\" He added that he had led prayer calls and described himself as \"a model inmate.\"
Institutional staff at Riverbend Detention Center declined detailed comment on his day-to-day conduct but Lieutenant Janicki confirmed staff presence. Wilkes's mother, Cindy Wilts, urged release and described his military service and post-injury struggles with prescription painkillers, saying he is \"a sober man who is sober today, who is a highly skilled barber who is ready to get back out\" and that he is in contact daily with his daughter.
Committee members expressed concern about gaps in available programming at Wilkes's current facility and recommended transfer so he could complete substance-abuse, domestic-violence and related classes. Stapleton said she would deny parole today but would \"recommend that you be moved to a facility that will offer you some... substance abuse counseling training\" and domestic-violence programming; Chuck Tillis and Chairman Prater concurred. The vote to deny was recorded as unanimous at 9:43 a.m.
The board did not grant parole but flagged programming availability as a condition for future reconsideration and asked staff to explore transfer options to facilities that provide the recommended classes.","The Committee on Parole unanimously denied Derek Wilkes's parole request July 23 but recommended he be transferred to a facility that offers substance-abuse and domestic-violence classes.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_46":93,"_48":94,"_50":95,"_52":96,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":97,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":98,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_74":73},6155001,"Parole denied for Joel Kasneid after board cites repeated felonies and supervision failures",887,162000,1049000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5481495-af194ee26d74c2fe32ec8e56229545ad&start=162&end=1049","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5481495-af194ee26d74c2fe32ec8e56229545ad/thumbnail_162000.jpg","/articles/6155001/Louisiana/Parole-denied-for-Joel-Kasneid-after-board-cites-repeated-felonies-and-supervision-failures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6155001-580cdc5ce1590399801319596dac64d1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771118206&Signature=U3CPxGtcHQrF5sYLLR-jImOGIic5DzjICZKDCVJSv7W3NqDTwTVDHWn3PXzv4p2Y0MkvvDI6WzWrg~hEcxnTdFf47idZytzmkoNqK3HifnoP1BsekEn~GGwr0Q42Dc-qU7l1rdOUGHik8HKenD50lgoifIPxXlGc9BqUWCFVSUCdoBuOcpXSEfvYjRrSBgtaRp0CleHQb983lq5pOIOnIq-kUH3hM0rrXTGPefYnMdjKoWfJoNxblfXi3hB7DRKoBUBNGCsLdCpwk0zZLSRFnlSBXfbBdxiaCuQwdexp9gVEycX8vIWKje5yFqiWFaLhe5hn4bYcKRx5qLzZgtLL7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","BATON ROUGE ' The Committee on Parole denied Joel Kasneid's request for parole at a July 23 hearing at Department of Corrections headquarters, the panel said, citing his long criminal history, a revoked reentry probation term and written opposition from the sheriff.
The board said Kasneid, DOC number 48BY000, had multiple opportunities in the community and on supervision that ended in revocation, and that those factors weighed against release.
Acting Chairman Steve Prater said the panel would hear from the inmate, institutional staff and supporters before voting. Committee member Carolyn Stapleton summarized the case for the panel: \"Mister Casnave has spent most of his adult life either on probation, parole, or behind bars since 2003 when he turned 18,\" and that he was \"sentenced as a habitual offender.\" She recorded the sheriff's written opposition and recommended denial.
Kasneid told the board he had completed classes and worked in the prison kitchen, and said he hoped to \"go back to my wife and my my daughter. She might be 14 years old, and I'm trying to go on.\" The board also heard from a lieutenant at Caldwell Correctional Center, who described Kasneid as \"a well modeled inmate, who's not been in any trouble. He's always, very polite to the staff.\"
Two family members spoke in support; a father told the board his son had \"received God in his life\" and had taken programs and was trying to change. The chair and both members then voted to deny parole. Stapleton said, \"Based upon, your 6 time felony offender, you were given an excellent chance to move forward in your life, and you didn't do that,\" and recorded her vote to deny. Chuck Tillis said, \"My vote is to deny,\" and Prater concurred. As of 9:17 a.m., the board recorded a unanimous denial.
No further directions or conditions for an earlier rehearing were adopted at the hearing. The board noted the sheriff's written opposition, Kasneid's supervision history, and the institutional report when explaining the denial.
The denial was announced at the close of the hearing and the panel moved to the next scheduled case.","The Louisiana Committee on Parole denied Joel Kasneid's request for early release July 23, citing a six-time felony history, revocation of prior reentry probation and opposition from law enforcement.","actionData","errors"]
