The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation approved Frederick Newhall Woods, 70, for parole after a suitability hearing on March 25, according to his inmate record.
Records reveal that Woods’ first parole hearing took place on July 15, 1982, and that the panel had rejected his request 17 times before granting him parole on Friday.
