GUEST BLOG: Arthur Taylor – Thank you everyone for the support
Ex Judge Louis Bidois chaired & the other 3 members of the Parole Panel included ex Judge Ron Young.
In 2007, High Court Judge Sir Ron Young sentenced me to 4 years . Today, as Chair of the Parole Board Panel , he released me, saying “You have done what you can in prison. To keep you in custody would be without purpose. It would be vindictive,”
All were very fair minded & seemed to want to give me a fair go & a chance to prove myself outside .
I’m looking forward to reconnecting with family and friends. I’ve had so many messages of support .
I’ll get round to replying .
Thanks for everyone’s support .

Excellent Arthur it not easy especially been locked up for decades but with support from friends and loved ones it certainly helps with the process. There will be trying times but it gets better. Good luck Arthur Taylor!!
good on you Authur I hope you keep the good work up you have been doing and I wish you all the best.
I heard the news of your win at the board about an hour after the decision was released. It was broadcast on National Radio at 5 pm. I was so pleased I called your counsel (you know who she is) and congratulated her on the outcome.
Now it’s time to put your extensive and varied legal skills to use to assist you and others make better lives.
I wish you the very best and hope at some point to meet you.
