NO PAROLE FOR GUNN VS

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY BOB LEE ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT GREGORY GUNN WAS DENIED PAROLE THIS WEEK. THE DECISION WAS MADE BY THE STATE BOARD OF PRISON TERMS, AT A MEETING AT FOLSOM STATE PRISON. IN 1991 GUNN WAS CONVICTED OF FELONY ASSAULT, AS WELL AS THE 2ND DEGREE MURDER OF JOHN RATLIFF. GUNN WAS SENTENCED TO 21 YEARS IN PRISON, FOR THE CRIMES. THE BOARD FOUND THAT GUNN WOULD PRESENT AN UNREASONABLE RISK OF DANGER TO SOCIETY IF RELEASED, AND ORDERED THAT GUNN BE GIVEN A NEW PAROLE HEARING DATE IN 5 YEARS.
