Parole denied for Brandon Moton after disciplinary history and 2020 infractions
Summary
Brandon Moton (alias Brandon Moten in the record) was denied parole at Claiborne Parish after panel members cited disciplinary reports from 2020 and an ongoing need for substance-abuse programming.
The Committee on Parole denied parole to Brandon Moton at a Claiborne Parish hearing, citing a string of disciplinary reports in 2020 and the need for more sustained programming to address substance use and violent incidents.
Moton’s uncle and family members testified on his behalf, saying Moton had matured and had family support and a job opportunity upon release. The Jefferson Parish assistant district attorney opposed release, noting Moton’s large drug possession at arrest, a loaded firearm with 30 rounds, and multiple disciplinary reports including fights and possession of synthetic marijuana in 2020.
Panel members said Moton had several programs earlier (2019) but incurred multiple infractions after a granted release that led to revocation; members said a longer clean disciplinary record and additional substance-abuse programming were necessary before they would consider parole. The panel recorded a unanimous denial and recommended continued programming and monitoring; members encouraged Moton to reapply after demonstrating sustained compliance and completing further substance-abuse programming.
