The Committee on Parole continued Jerome Mitchell’s revocation hearing on July 22 after Mitchell asked the panel to defer the hearing until an upcoming court date on Aug. 20, 2025.

Mitchell told the committee his case had not been resolved in court and he preferred to defer the parole hearing until after the August appearance. The committee asked whether Mitchell wished to voluntarily continue the hearing; he agreed and the committee voted to continue the matter.

Committee members recorded the continuance and encouraged Mitchell to address the pending court proceedings; the panel thanked the hosting institutional staff and ended the brief session for Mitchell.

Why it matters: Continuances preserve an individual’s ability to present an active court disposition and prevent the committee from making a final parole decision before related court proceedings conclude.
