In re Palermo
In June 1987, when he was 21 years old, Darin Palermo (defendant) fatally shot his former girlfriend, Andrea Naftel (the victim), while she was sitting on the toilet in the bathroom of defendants apartment. Palermo lacks insight into his responsibility for his crime and later problems. He denies that the murder was not an accident, even in the face of the contrary evidence. He denies culpability for the wrongdoing for which he received discipline in prison. It just never seems to be his fault. The Board cited Palermos lack of insight, and I believe this is some evidence to support the decision.
