## Resource

A 73-year-old convicted murderer, James King, faces a tense parole decision after being eligible for geriatric release — a move his legal team argues is justified despite a troubling history. They claim a 1986 conviction for a similar crime unfairly prejudiced his original trial, but Lexie Walters’ sister, Jones, sees his admission to that past crime as a betrayal — especially since he was later arrested in 2018 for assaulting another elderly woman, charges later dropped. Now, Jones is fighting to rename Virginia’s geriatric release law “Lexie’s Law,” hoping to prevent future cases like this — even as the outcome of his appeal remains uncertain and the possibility of a new trial looms.
