SANTA FE – Senator Cliff Pirtle (R-Roswell) today introduced Monique’s Law, Senate Bill 451, to require parole boards to review electronic transcripts of phone calls when considering the release of an inmate. The bill would also require the auditing and posting of earned time deductions by inmates and those parole board hearings to be publicly webcast. The bill is named after Dominique “Monique” Gonzales who was killed by a former boyfriend, Christopher Beltran, after he was let out on parole, despite making numerous phone calls indicating his intention to commit acts of violence.
