Parole Review Task Force named
Gov. M. Jodi Rell has appointed 20 people to serve on a task force she created following a triple homicide in Cheshire that was committed, authorities charge, by two men out on parole.
Two Cheshire residents are among those on the Sentencing and Parole Review Task Force... Thomas Kirk and Barbara Quinn. (MRJ, by Elisabeth Strillacci)

Funny, it looks like this board already is pretty much in existence and met frequently before the Petit massacre
