Background
Dallas County - On April 7, 1999, Pedro Salazar was 1 of 3 people who, for $500.00, help beat and torture Jonathan Andrew Bishop with baseball bats for over an hour in a locked garage. After brutally beating Jonathan, Salazar took Jonathan's last breath by stepping on his throat. Salazar did not know Jonathan. He did not commit this heinous crime out of anger, revenge or loathing "...just covering my friend's back" (his words). He was originally sentenced to 35 years, but on appeal, the sentence was reduced to 18 years. Salazar has never shown remorse for what he did. If released from prison, Salazar will likey be a continued menace to society. Please help us keep this murderer in prison whare he belongs.

RE: Pedro Salazar TCDJ# 00912262

Dear Board Members:

As a concerned citizen, I am writing to ask that you DO NOT grant parole to Pedro Salazar. Salazar was convicted of First Degree Murder for the April 7, 1999 murder of Jonathan Andrew Bishop. Salazar along with two other thugs brutally beat Jonathan with baseball bats. While lying beaten and helpless, Salazar took Jonatha's last breath by stepping on his throat. Justice demands that parole be denied for this vicious murderer. Please grant a five-year, or greater set-off, for future parole reviews.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
