Houston Officials Fight Parole of Gay Banker’s Killer

[William769]

Some Houston officials want to stop the scheduled release of Jon Buice, who was convicted of killing gay banker Paul Broussard in 1991.

The Houston Chronicle reports that commissioners in the Amarillo office of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles voted 2 to 0 this month to approve parole in October for Buice, who is serving 45 years in a West Texas prison for his role in the murder. Local officials including Harris County District Attorney Pat Lykos and at least four state representatives, who have written letters to the board, want to stop his release.

The letter details how Buice and 9 “co-conspirators” drove to the Montrose neighborhood with the purpose of bullying gay people. Buice, now 37, pleaded guilty to murdering Broussard, who was 27. The other nine people are on parole.

"The defendants swarmed out of their vehicles, chased Paul down a dead-end street, surrounded him and they attacked — beating the defenseless Paul Broussard with a nail-studded two-by-four, kicking him in the face, chest and groin with steel-toed boots, crushing his testicles, hitting him with their fists and, finally, Jon Christopher Buice stabbed him to death," the letter stated.
