Parole denied

Janet Danahey, who was convicted of killing four people over 20 years ago, will remain in prison after a decision made days ago by the N.C. Post Release Supervision and Parole Commission. Danahey’s sentenced was commuted by Gov. Roy Cooper last year; however, the N.C. Post Release Supervision and Parole Commission denied parole for Danahey.

She pled guilty in Guilford Superior Court to four counts of first-degree murder and arson. Danahey’s attorneys had previously asked for Danahey’s sentence to be commuted by Gov. Bev Perdue in 2012, but this request was denied.
