Marcia Dooley and her husband Edward (Tony) Dooley were convicted of second-degree murder in 2002 for the death of Tony’s son, Randal. The parole board also heard that Dooley has two jobs in prison and has been living under minimum security since 2014. After listening to Dooley, the panel granted her request for an escorted temporary absence. “We have taken into account (your father’s) recent loss and his difficulty getting to the prison,” lead parole board member Mike Sanford said. Tony Dooley, also serving a life sentence, was approved for escorted temporary absences last year.
