Deny the Parole of Russell Franklin Stone (H00697)

We, the undersigned, wish to voice our strong opposition to the possible parole of Russell Franklin Stone (H00697) who was convicted of Second Degree Murder of his wife, Dr. Deborah Saiki, and sentenced to a term of 16 years to life.

He has shown a callous disregard of human life, and has never taken responsibility for his actions. He continues to be a danger to society and in the fairness to the family of Deborah, we want him to serve his maximum life sentence.

Why is this important?

My aunt Deborah, was stabbed to death when I was eight, by her husband, Russell Franklin Stone. Her irreplaceable loss has affected me and my family for the past 31 years, and once again, her murderer is up for parole.

Russell has never taken responsibility or apologized for his actions. I believe in second chances and reform, and yet Russell has never shown that he deserves these opportunities. To add insult to injury, has taken up optometry in prison, a direct insult to my Optometrist aunt he murdered, our family, and her memory. Please join me in signing this petition to help keep this monster in prison.

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

I just wanted to update everyone that Russell made a 3 year stipulation that he wasn’t ready to get out of prison yet, and the large public support against him played a factor.

Your signatures, handwritten letters, and words of support have literally made a difference - THANK YOU.

While he's effectively off the streets for 3 more years, this could be a play to reapply for parole in a year or two, so if you'd like to be notified of the next time the community needs to rally to keep this murderer off the streets, please fill out this quick (1 minute) form:

Thanks again and hope your 2023 is off to a great start.

On behalf of the family, thank you again.

Hi all! I'm printing the petition, so THANK YOU so much for signing!

If you're seeing this after the fact, or want to continue to show your support, I'm collecting emails for the next time I have to run this campaign to keep Russell in jail and not out on parole.

Thank you for your support and here's just a quick video (of me saying the same thing..weird.)
