State's lawyers want Lisker back in prison

bruce-lisker-fermin.jpgThe attorney general’s office filed a motion late Wednesday saying that Bruce Lisker, released last year after 26 years in prison on a conviction of killing his mother, should be sent back because the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that inmates should not be allowed to file late petitions for release even if they can prove they are innocent. Lisker has been the subject of an occasional series of posts here at Native Intelligence on adjusting to life outside prison.
