Board reopens Willie Miles case; grants parole with PREP enrollment and GPS monitoring condition

The Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles reopened testimony in the case of Willie Miles during its Oct. 14 meeting and subsequently granted parole with multiple release conditions.

Willie Miles spoke through counsel (attorney Aimee Cobb) and family members including Buena Daniel (sister) and Julia Miles (mother). Opponents at the hearing included Bill Lisenby (listed as representing VOCAL) and Sarah Deneve, a victim-services officer with the Attorney General's Office. At 9:19 a.m. Board Member Darryl Littleton moved to reopen the case to receive additional testimony from Buena Daniel; Chair Hal Nash granted the motion. The case was closed to vote at 9:21 a.m.

The Board voted to grant Miles parole with the following special conditions: completion of the Perry County Probation/Parole Reentry Education Program (PREP); assignment to a GPS ankle monitor; scheduled mental-health follow-up; and a drug assessment upon release. The transcript notes those conditions explicitly as part of the parole grant.

The decision followed the standard docket-review procedure; the transcript does not specify the individual vote tally or which board member made the motion to grant parole. The Board's materials and minutes record the reopening motion and the Board’s approval of parole with the stated conditions.

Implementation steps noted in the minutes include referral to Perry County probation/parole for PREP enrollment and coordination of GPS monitoring and required health assessments. No timeline for completion of conditions was specified in the minutes beyond the requirement that the conditions be met upon or after release.

The Board adjourned later in the day; the next scheduled meeting was Oct. 15, 2025.
