Dear Governor Cuomo,
We the people of New York State are signing this petition to support the release of Derrel Austin 96-B-0336. Derrel has been incarcerated for over 20 years. He was sentenced to 18 years to life when he was 16 years old. Since then he has completed all programs required of him and the 18 years required to be released. He knows what impact he had on his victims and their families. The victim in his case supports his release and has written everytime Derrel went before the parole board to show his support. Please consider the fact he was a young man who made mistakes please allow Derrel the opportunity to show the changes he has made in his life. He never had the chance to prove he can be a productive member of society. We ask that you give him the chance to do so. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely,
