Tokyo Kameko. Tokyo walked in sitting down you were charged with attempted murder and racketeering. You sit before us seeking parole.
You've served sixteen year's of a thirty year sentence what do you have to say today Mr. Kameko?
Since I've been incarcerated I haven't had any infractions. We see that very impressive and you have recommendation letter's from the warden and five wing officer's. There is also one from the resident Doctor that he has trained you as a nurse and you're taking your state exam for Licensed practicing nurse tomorrow? Yes ma'am. I'd like to hear more please.
Ive been training three years now i received my home health aide paperwork working with the elderly on the hospice ward. Then I received my CNA certified nurses aide paper work and as you know I test for LPN tomorrow. I'd like to become a anesthetic nurse in five years.
I graduated with a batchelor degree in nursing last year. I see that also the woman smiled.
You strangled a man with your bare hand's leaving him within inches of his life did you do that inmate?
Yes sir I did. Was it self defense? I see the jury ruled it was that's why they only gave you thirty year's instead of life.
Were you aware the victim is awake now five year's? He wrote a statement for us asking we release you. Tokyo was shocked.
He said he was an alcoholic who started the fight and understands if you hadn't cracked his skull open you would of been the dead one any words inmate?
Well sir I thank the victim for his impact statement I'm unworthy of his forgiveness but I thank him for it. I was also a drinker which I stopped and hold as much fault as he does.
The parole board stared at Tokyo does anyone want to add anything?
No one said anything if that's all you'll hear from us in seven day's inmate.
Tokyo went to the phones to call Axis how'd it go cuz? How'd you do it Axis? Don't thank me thank your son. Tokyo held his head down how much?
Axis was quiet how much Ax? $100,000 cash. That boy is--
Hard headed like his daddy? Don't tell him I told you Tokyo if the victim cooperates you have a better shot bro.
Thank you let's hope it wasn't a waste of money.
