Parole denied for Judith Ann Neelley

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama officials swiftly denied parole Thursday for a woman convicted of murder in the 1982 death of a 13-year-old girl who was abducted from a Georgia shopping mall, sexually assaulted, and injected with drain cleaner before being fatally shot. The Alabama Board of Pardons and Parole Boards refused to release Judith Ann Neelley, 58. She will be eligible for parole again in 2028. Neelley originally had been sentenced to the electric chair for the slaying of 13-year-old Lisa Ann Millican. Her death sentence was commuted, making her eligible for parole.
