The state Parole Board denied parole for Jose Pablo Romero, a 48-year-old man convicted in 2012 of severely assaulting his wife as part of a scheme to frame his ex-girlfriend. After a series of brutal assaults on his wife, she bravely testified against him, despite his threats. The Board's decision followed input from the District Attorney, emphasizing the impact of Romero's violent behavior on the victim's life, and recognized her courage in survival and testimony against her husband.
Romero's actions turned the life of a 19-year-old teenage girl completely upside down, characterized as young, impressionable, and in love, having met him just after turning 19.
Romero became irate and decided he needed to inflict even greater injury to the victim. After initial assaults didn’t implicate his ex-girlfriend, his violence escalated.
