Charlie Norman Parole Interview Today

 

Thursday, February 29, 2024, 11:34 a.m.

I just got back from my parole interview with investigators John O'Donnell and Jonathan Goodwin in the Classification Department conference room.

It went very well. Both men were smiling, and when I reached out to shake hands, they eagerly responded (that is not always the case; I’ve experienced this kind:  when you offer a handshake upon meeting and the person stares at it like it was a snake, and that is not a good sign.)

They were there to review my parole release plan and verify my program participation, then provide all my material to the parole commission, who has the final say as to whether I go home or stay (46 years so far).

Libby did a good job compiling my paperwork into an excellent parole plan, and they were impressed.

You may submit a written statement expressing your support of an inmate, me, Charles Norman, DC # 881834, (snail mail address below), which will be reviewed and considered by the voting Commissioners. Please call 1-800-335-3396 or submit your statement by email to InmatesSupporter@fcor.state.fl.us .

Questions relating to appearing before the Commission may be answered by calling the Office of the Commission Clerk at (850) 488-1293.

Note — REQUESTS MUST BE MADE WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER DATE OF INTERVIEW, so the deadline is MARCH 14, 2024.

If you wish to attend as a show of support, please let Libby and me know. Our side only has ten minutes total to speak. Address: Florida Commission on Offender Review, 4070 Esplanade Way Tallahassee, FL 32399-2450. The hearings are held in the Betty Easley Conference Center at the normally scheduled time (9 a.m. on Wednesdays). Commissioners: Melinda Coonrod, Chairperson, Richard Davison, Vice Chair, David Wyant, Secretary.  

In any case, prayers and good thoughts are always appreciated.

I'm tired from the stress of the 90 minute interview and effects of my Myasthenia Gravis, and will write more when I can.

Thank you sincerely for your support and concern.

Charlie
