I oppose parole for William Crawford, who is serving a 46-year sentence for three counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of simple assault for an attack on his wife, children and in-laws. Crawford was sentenced to 46 years in prison after he shot and stabbed his stepfather-in-law, shot his mother-in-law, stabbed his wife and son, and bit his daughter during an attack at his in-laws home. He has a history of abuse against his immediate family in the years prior to the violent attack. The attack on family members came three days after being served with an order of protection filed by his wife, indicating he is not compelled to operate within the law. He is a danger to society, which is best served with him serving his sentence in prison.
