Thank you.

Thank you so much for your presentation.

I have two questions. First, since the death penalty was abolished in 1976, how many offenders sentenced to concurrent life sentences for multiple murders have received parole?

Second, since 1976, what, if any, is the average sentence served by convicted multiple murderers prior to being granted parole, if indeed any such offenders have been granted parole?

See context to find out what was said next.
