Convicted Murderer JAMES EDWARD TANKERSLEY, better known as prisoner GDC ID: 517974, killed these three young men on Oct 10, 1987. He was awarded by a jury of his peers and the State of Georgia TWO CONSECUTIVE LIFE SENTENCES for his heinous cold blooded murder of TIMMY HARRELL and BILLY REESE (Acquitted for the murder of RICK LAVARNWAY). He has ONLY served approximately 30 years. The Parole Board is moving to RELEASE him on a Work Release Program subsequently followed by a FULL RELEASE from serving his TWO CONSECUTIVE LIFE Sentences! The FAMILIES and FRIENDS of THREE VICTIMS have suffered indescribable pain for many years and just when the wounds are bearable, the State of Georgia wants to reopen them. We humbly ask you to sign this petition and make your voice heard to STOP the PAROLE of this Convicted Murderer.

WARNING...GRAPHIC CASE "SNAPSHOT": TANKERSLEY shot RICK in the heart, immediately turned and shot TIMMY in the BACK of his head while sitting unarmed in Rick's car, then ran up to the car, stuck his gun in the window and "double-tapped" BILLY in the BACK of his head, behind his right & left ears, "execution style", while Billy was SLEEPING in the back seat (yes...SLEEPING)! TANKERSLEY then drove Rick's car, with his three victims inside, into a lake where Timmy ultimately drowned. (Read for yourself, Columbia County, Ga two EYE WITNESS trial testimonies are publically available)

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO CONTACT OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS at the Parole Office by emailing to [email protected] You MUST Ref: GDC ID / 517974 and the MURDERER'S name in your correspondence. You can fax your objections to the release of this CONVICT to 404-651-6668. The DEADLINE DATE set by the Board is October 3, 2017 (UPDATE: Deadline date extended to October 12!). Time is of the essence!

The killings affected me in many ways. Some of which still trouble me today. If James Tankersley were to be released. I would be very disappointed in our officials, and would make sure every registered voter in the county would know a killer is to be released.

JAMES EDWARD TANKERSLEY, better known as prisoner GDC ID: 517974, killed 3 boys and tried to cover it up. We never got to know those boys growing up, what they would have accomplished, nothing. Please make this killer pay for his actions and remain in prison.

My nephew grew up without ever knowing his dad because some thug wanted to be stupid. Drugs are no excuse. Tankersley is a threat to society. NO WORK RELEASE. NO OUT OF JAIL. Cold heartedly murdering 3 people is not a "Get out of Jail" card.

This murderer should never see the light of day. His victims didn't get time off for good behavior!! What part of LIFE sentence do they not understand. The only way he should get out of prison is when he dies. He should NEVER be allowed to mingle with society again.

This man's calculating & heartless choices have affected my entire family for as long as I can remember in my 33 years. He has no soul and shouldn't be allowed to breathe fresh air, just as Timmy, Billy, & Rick were denied the same!! This is injustice!!!!
