His release “says a lot about the state of our society and the state of California right now.”
After 17 previous rejections, the last of the Chowchilla bus kidnappers was granted release by a California parole board on Tuesday. Frederick Woods, now 70, was just 24 years old when he and his accomplices, brothers James and Richard Schoenfeld, abducted a busload of schoolchildren and their driver at gunpoint in 1976. They drove their captives to a rock quarry, where they were ordered to climb down into a buried moving trailer.
Richard’s release was ordered in 2012; James’ in 2015. But Woods “continued to engage in financial-related misconduct in prison,” according to California Gov. Gavin Newsom, allegedly running several businesses, including a Christmas tree farm, behind bars through a contraband cell phone.
