We, the undersigned, have been made aware of the love triangle, drugs, and tragic events surrounding the murder committed by Eric Lloyd Hermansen in 1996. We are also aware of his remorse and his acceptance of responsibility for taking the life of his friend Harry Jones; his rehabilitative achievements, his secondary education accomplishments and the fulfillment of his obligation of being a law abiding citizen - indicative by his positive institutional behavior during the past 27 years. We, believe it is in the best interests of society to grant Mr. Hermansen parole as he no longer poses a threat to public safety having shown his ability to sucessfully re-intergrate as a prodcutive member of society.
