Split board votes on select cases underscore differing member positions
Summary
Several cases drew split votes: Lamarcus K. Harris received a majority-approved conditional parole over one member's objection; Thomas H. Stewart Jr.'s pardon application was denied by majority while one member favored restoring voting rights only.
The Aug. 5 meeting recorded several non-unanimous outcomes that the minutes flag explicitly by member vote. Lamarcus K. Harris (AIS# 231940) was granted parole by Chair Hal Nash and Member Gabrelle Simmons with supervisory and programmatic conditions while Member Jennifer Conway voted to deny parole and set a reset date of Aug. 2027. The minutes list the conditions that accompany the majority decision (PREP completion, GPS monitoring, mental-health follow-up and drug assessment upon release).
Thomas H. Stewart Jr. (AIS# 812856) likewise produced a split outcome: Chair Nash and Member Simmons voted to deny a pardon while Member Conway voted to grant voting rights only. The meeting record therefore reflects differences in how members weigh relief (full or partial) and supervision; minutes capture both the majority decisions and the separate member positions.
