Summary

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Board of Pardons & Paroles on June 17 reviewed a 39-case docket and denied parole or pardon in 22 cases while granting 17 outcomes that ranged from full pardons to paroles conditioned on supervision and treatment.
Chair Hal Nash and Board Member Gabrelle Simmons, the two members recorded as present, opened the public meeting at 8:36 a.m. and approved minutes from the June 16 session. The Board reviewed individual parole and pardon requests throughout the day and recorded unanimous decisions on each docket item.
Notable grants included a full pardon restoring all civil and political rights to Markes D. Mosley, and a series of pardons that provided relief from habitual‑offender enhancements and firearms disabilities for several applicants. The Board also restored voting rights only to Christopher A. Guined rather than granting a full pardon.
Several paroles were granted with specific release conditions. Jerry W. Perdue was approved for parole with a requirement to wear a GPS ankle monitor and a referral to the Redemption Earned reentry program. Decullar Gibson’s parole included completion of the Tuscaloosa Day Reporting Center program, GPS monitoring and a drug assessment upon release. Other parole approvals required placement in approved halfway houses, drug assessments, mental‑health follow-up or completion of a substance‑abuse program; one grant required completion of a GED prior to release.
Speakers for and against individual cases were recorded in the minutes. Victims’ family members and representatives from VOCAL and the Attorney General’s office (listed as India Eaves, VSO, Attorney General Office) appear repeatedly in opposition to release; applicants and family members frequently spoke in support. Where the minutes record opposition, the Board’s decision and any reset or condition are listed alongside the docket entry.
The minutes list reset dates where the Board denied parole; a number of denials carry multi‑year reset dates (for example, several reset dates are recorded as June 2031 or other years indicated in the docket). Where the board granted pardons, the minutes note whether the relief was restricted (for example, limited relief from habitual‑offender enhancements and firearms disabilities) or full (as in the Mosley case).
The Board reviewed delinquent files and adjourned at 4:09 p.m. The next meeting was scheduled for June 18, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. at the same Ripley Street address.
