Votes at a glance: Pardons and paroles outcomes from Alabama board meeting
Summary
The Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles approved a small number of pardons and conditional paroles on June 10, 2025, including two full pardons and several paroles with monitoring and program requirements, while denying many parole requests and setting reset dates for others.
At its June 10, 2025 meeting in Montgomery, the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles considered a full docket of pardon and parole applications and recorded a mix of grants and denials.
Notable outcomes include full pardons granted to Muriel Killings and Beth A. Davis. The board also granted voting-rights-only relief to Edward E. Penn, Antonio D. Lockett and Michael R. Dixon where noted in the docket. Robert L. Winston was granted parole with special conditions that include completion of the Perry County Probation/Parole Reentry Education Program (PREP), participation in NA/AA, a GPS ankle monitor, and a drug assessment. Thomas I. Edwards and Matthew S. Sims received parole grants with PREP and GPS monitoring requirements. Brandon S. Taylor was granted parole contingent on completing a Substance Abuse Program (SAP) plus monitoring and assessments upon release.
The board denied numerous parole requests; some denials carried reset dates (for example, Michael Handsford and James McInvale were denied with reset dates in June 2030; Javon L. Hill was denied with a reset date in June 2028). Several other denials in the docket have no reset date recorded, meaning parole was denied without an immediate re-review date in the published minutes.
Speakers in favor of or against individual petitions included relatives and advocates for applicants and victim representatives and a Victim Services Office representative from the Attorney General's office. The board's decisions, recorded in meeting minutes and board orders, will affect the custody status, supervision conditions and future eligibility of the named individuals.
The meeting materials include a full docket listing names, AIS numbers and decisions; readers seeking case-level detail should consult the official meeting minutes and signed board orders.
