It originally aired in 2010 but i just heard it. And - the case involves someone who was sentenced to Life WITH the opportunity for Parole - unlike Pennsylvania.
In California, Maryland and Oklahoma, the governors
can over-rule parole boards' decisions to free prisoners serving life
sentences. In all three states this has evolved to the point where very
few prisoners get released. For years Nancy Mullane followed the case of
Don Cronk in San Quentin Prison, to see what would happen as Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger reviewed his case. Though Cronk knew the odds were
against him, he found it hard to stop himself from believing he'd get
out. Nancy Mullane is the author of a book called Life After Murder and putting together a two hour documentary on other lifers in Don's situation. (27 minutes)
