After an emotional hearing, the Alabama Board of Pardons and Parole Boards took just 55 seconds to announce that it was refusing to free Judith Ann Neelley, 53. Neelley was convicted with husband Alvin Neelley of killing Millican, who was abducted from a mall in Rome, Georgia. "Judith Ann Neelley is a very cruel, sick person and needs to do her punishment for killing, taking lives," he said. An attorney representing Neelley told the board Neelley was coerced by Alvin Neelley into committing the crime. A 2003 Alabama law to bar Neelley from parole was ruled unconstitutional in March.
