Maurice Raffoul, who’s been behind bars for just over a year, told the board he’s ready to rejoin society. “I'm very sorry, I have a lot of remorse for what happened and give me an opportunity to move forward in my life,” he said at Thursday’s parole hearing.

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A ransomware attack on the Arizona Federal Public Defender’s Office has delayed progress in the Ralph Menzies death penalty case. Defense attorneys filed a motion last week asking the court for more time to prepare a reply brief on Menzies’ mental competency after the hack wiped out their access to case files. The office said they lost a nearly complete 25-page draft of the reply brief they were preparing to file.
