The Louisiana Committee on Parole on June 26, 2025, voted not to revoke parole for Leah Germanaro, who faced allegations that she moved from her listed address without permission and failed to remain at her listed residence.
Panel member Ms. LeJeune read the allegations, and panel member Mr. Freeman said, "My vote today is gonna be not to revoke," explaining the decision would be conditioned on verification of an approved residence by probation and parole. Mr. Barra concurred and reiterated conditions including "no drug and alcohol use and no contact with juveniles." Germanaro pleaded not guilty to several location-related allegations but guilty to being in arrears on supervision fees.
The panel's action keeps Germanaro on supervision rather than returning her to a term of incarceration, but the panel ordered that she remain detained until probation and parole inspect and approve a residence in Bastrop she identified. The panel also noted outstanding supervision fees of $1,012 and repeated standard registration and supervision conditions.
Germanaro told the panel she had been in jail since June 6 and that she believes the Bastrop address will be approved; she also described job loss after release and housing instability. Deputy Marshall and probation staff were present at the remote site during the hearing and will assist with the residence verification.
The panel's direction is administrative: probation and parole must inspect and approve the proposed residence. If the residence meets the panel's standards, Germanaro will be released; if not, she must find another approved residence and may be returned to the panel.
The panel recorded no formal additional sanctions at the hearing; the decision was a continuation of supervision under stated conditions and pending residence approval.
