James Granberry Pleads the 5th In Senate Hearing

Texas inmates and their families started receiving business cards and letters from the ex-parole board chairman, promising early release for a price.

Former parole board chairman James Granberry, who played the key role in setting serial killer Kenneth McDuff free, set up a business as a parole consultant.

He solicited money from inmate’s families to get his old cronies on the parole board to release his clients from prison early.

In Episode 10, Investigative Reporter Robert Riggs exposes the secret underworld of parole consultants and the release of Kenneth McDuff’s prison pal.
