My Father's Parole Hearing

My Father's Parole Hearing

Audience Note: Today, August 20th, John F. Boyle, Jr. appears before the Ohio Parole Board in an attempt to be released from prison after serving nearly 35 years for the premeditated murder of Collier's mother, his wife, Noreen.

In this gripping episode, Collier Landry shares a deeply personal and emotional story about his father's parole hearing after being imprisoned for over three decades for the murder of his mother. Joined by criminologists Dr. Meghan Sacks and Dr. Amy Shlosberg from the 'Women and Crime' podcast, Collier navigates the complexities of the justice system, the concept of remorse, and the psychological evaluation of his father. The conversation touches on institutional behavior, reentry plans, and the potential dangers if his father is released. The episode combines personal anecdotes, legal insights, and emotional reflections, making it an essential listen for true crime enthusiasts and anyone interested in the intersections of crime, mental health, and society.
