Murderer’s Release After 21 Years Seen Saturday

A Calabasas man convicted of the 1985 murder of a high school classmate who had revealed the killer’s homosexuality is expected to be paroled this week after 21 years in custody.

Robert Rosenkrantz was sentenced as an 18-year-old to an indefinite term of 17 years to life. He was told that he would be eligible for parole after nine years, and he conducted himself as what courts called a model prisoner.

But as his parole was blocked repeatedly, he eventually became a symbol of California’s turn against rehabilitation, at least regarding murderers.

State authorities displayed a deep reluctance to release murderers, regardless of what they had done to rehabilitate themselves.

Rosenkrantz’s break came this summer when Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Wesley noted that, in denying the inmate release, parole authorities repeatedly cited the gravity of the original offense, “the circumstances of which can never change.”

The judge ruled that continued reliance on the original offense “runs contrary to the rehabilitative goals espoused by the prison system” and violated Rosenkrantz’s rights.

Outed gay killer to be freed today

More than two decades after he was convicted of the cold-blooded second-degree murder of a 17-year-old Calabasas High School classmate who outed him as a homosexual, Robert Rosenkrantz is set to be paroled today from prison.

Rosenkrantz, 39, who was recommended for parole in May, will be released from the California Men’s Colony in San Luis Opispo.

“His family is overjoyed to have him home,” said Donald Miller, a former prisoner and expert on parole law who has been working with Rosenkrantz’s family on the case. “He has been on the verge of being released three or four times and he has been deemed not a risk for years now.” Read the whole story>>>

Claremont Settles Lawsuit in Fatal Police Shooting

The city of Claremont has agreed to pay $450,000 to settle a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the family of a teenager who was shot and killed four years ago by two police officers.

According to the terms of the settlement, the money will be divided among Irvin Landrum Jr.’s mother and his two children, a 5-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter.

The settlement involved no admission of guilt by the city. It closes the books on a shooting that prompted numerous protests and prayer vigils.

“I think it has been a very painful and long process for everyone,” said Sandra Baldonado, Claremont’s mayor pro tem. “It’s hard to say there is a silver lining in a tragedy like this.”

The settlement comes just one month after City Manager Glenn Southard rescinded awards given to the officers involved. The employee of the year awards had been granted 11 months after the shooting; officials cited officers’ professionalism under pressure.

Some in the community considered the awards insensitive. Southard said he rescinded the awards in the best interests of the city. Read the whole story>>>
