Re: Benjamin Trinidad Trujillo TDCJ ID# 00816399

Dear Board Members,

Please DO NOT grant parole to Benjamin Trinidad Trujillo. As a concerned citizen, I am writing to protest the projected parole. On March 5. 1997 Benjamin Trinidad murdered his employer Joseph Sanchez.

Sanchez left behind a wife and children to live the remainder of their lifes without a father and husband due to the actions of Trujillo. Justice demands that Trinidad be made to serve his entire sentence in prison.

In addition, to lessen the trauma for the victim's family, please consider a five year set-off before future parole reviews.

Sincerely

Thank you for your consideration,

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
