Board Rejects Early Medical Parole

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...The Kentucky Parole Board has decided not to grant early medical parole for 56 year old William Bennett, a man sentenced to 120 years in prison for fatally shooting Fayette County Sheriff's Deputy Joseph Angelucci in 1988. Bennett, who is seriously ill, won't be eligible for parole again until 2016. Witnesses testified during the trial that Bennett had a history of mental problems dating back to childhood, at times imagining himself to be a nuclear scientist or a twin of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.
