A man sentenced to life in prison for his role in a 1969 robbery and murder spree in Fulton County that claimed six lives — including that of a 12-year-old — will be paroled in a week, despite strong objections from one of the victims' brothers.
Carter Arnold Jr., now 55, was paroled in 2005 but failed to follow the rules of the prison aftercare home where he lived. He was sent back to prison about a year later, but is now scheduled to be released again on May 15, said Scheree Lipscomb, spokeswoman for the Georgia Board of Pardons and Parole.
Doug DuLac, of metro Las Vegas, has fought to keep his brother's killer in prison. In September, he waged a one-man letter-writing and phone-calling campaign to keep Arnold behind bars when he was told Arnold was up for release again. The parole board at the time put off its decision. But DuLac was called last week by the parole board's victims' services unit and told Arnold will be released next Tuesday.
"It's unfair that someone who could methodically take away someone's life could be walking free," DuLac said in a telephone interview Monday. "It's incomprehensible to me."
