VISTA SUPPORTING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN REQUESTING
A NEW HEARING BY THE COMMUNITY RELEASE BOARD CON-
CERNING THE PAROLE RELEASE DATE FOR JOSEPH MORSE
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista does hereby

WHEREAS, at a special meeting on March 9, 1978, the
City Council of the City of Chula Vista filed a request to express
opposition to the parole of Joseph Bernard P4orse recently granted
by the Community Release Board, and
WHEREAS, at the Council meeting of T4arch 14, 1978, a
Chief Deputy District Attorney from the office of San Diego District
Attorney Edwin Miller, as well as other citizens, appeared before
the Council requesting that the City Council support the request
of the District Attorney for a rehearing of the parole as granted
by the Community Release Board, and
WHEREAS, it is the opinion of the Council that the
hearing which was previously conducted did not provide sufficient
information for an adequate basis for concluding that Mr. P4orse
should or should not be paroled, and
WHEREAS, the City Council voted unanimously to support
the petition for rehearing and strongly urges the Community Release
Board to grant said petition and provide a full and detailed expla-
nation of the basis for their action, whatever it night be, as a
result of said rehearing, and
WHEREAS, the City Council believes that it is incumbent
upon the Community Release Board to provide proper assurances
to the public at large that if and when paroles are granted to
those who committed such atrocious crimes, that there is sufficient
information to provide a basis for belief that such a parolee will
not be a danger to society.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Chula Vista does hereby urge the Community Release
Board to grant the District Attorney's petition for a rehearing
concerning the parole release date for Joseph Bernard DZorse.
