Protest Against Parole
Send letters, emails, or faxes protesting the parole of David Villanueva Lopez

Background
June 26, 1979, David Lopez murdered 20-year-old Cydney Myers, daughter of Nell and Fred Myers. The facts of the case were particularly brutal in that evidence showed that Cydney had been viciously beaten, raped and strangled to death with a ligature. After he had already murdered her, he then acted out the unthinkable; he proceeded to rape and sodomized her lifeless body after death. He then left her beaten body slumped over the steering wheel of a car parked on Guadalupe Street in Austin Texas.

Lopez walked a free man for almost nine years until a just criminal system caught up with him. There were two separate emotional trials for the victim's family. Twenty Four citizens/jurors convicted Lopez beyond a reasonable doubt. He is serving a "Life" sentence for Murder with Deadly Weapon.

The extreme violent nature of his crime should preclude any consideration for parole. The victim and society deserve to know that they are protected from this violent offender, David Villanueva Lopez. In addition, to lessen the emotional trauma the parole review process has on the victim's family, please ask that for the maximum set-off for any future parole reviews.

Dear Board Members:

June 26, 1979, David Lopez murdered 20-year-old Cydney Myers. The facts of the case were particularly brutal in that evidence showed that Cydney had been viciously beaten, raped and strangled to death with a ligature. After he had already murdered her, he then acted out the unthinkable; he proceeded to rape and sodomized her lifeless body after death. He then left her beaten body slumped over the steering wheel of a car parked on Guadalupe Street in Austin Texas.

Lopez walked a free man for almost nine years until a just criminal system caught up with him. There were two separate emotional trials for the victim's family. Twenty Four citizens/jurors convicted Lopez beyond a reasonable doubt. He is serving a "Life" sentence for Murder with Deadly Weapon.

The extreme violent nature of his crime should preclude any consideration for parole. The victim and society deserve to know that they are protected from this violent offender, David Villanueva Lopez. In addition, to lessen the emotional trauma the parole review process has on the victim's family, please consider the maximum set-off for any future parole reviews.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sincerely,
