We the undersign ask that you, the parole board deny Samuel J. Herring inmate #A180009 parole. On March, 20, 1984 Samuel J. Herring attacked Phyllis Cottle. Among other horrific crimes committed on the person Phyllis Cottle, he severed the optic nerve in both eyes leaving her permanently blind and then he left her to die in her burning car. Because of his past criminal record he shows he has no remorse and no respect for the human race or the law and never will therefore any consideration for parole should be DENIED!
