Not surprisingly, Jon Buice will stay behind bars for at least another year.
Buice is the only remaining assailant out of the 10 teens who beat up and killed Paul Broussard in 1991 in an anti-gay attack in Houston’s Montrose area.
While he was granted parole two years ago, the decision was later reversed. Since then, efforts by his attorney and gay activist Ray Hill have ramped up to help him be released. Broussard’s mother and Houston victim advocate Andy Kahan have pushed for Buice to remain in jail at least 27 years, the age Broussard was when he was murdered.
Statewide advocacy group Equality Texas has supported the efforts to keep Buice in prison. So have many LGBT-friendly state lawmakers.
