In re Adamar
On June 6, 1996, a jury convicted petitioner Michael Adamar of second degree murder and assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury. The jury also found that Adamar personally used a knife in the commission of the murder. The trial court sentenced him to an indeterminate term of 18 years to life. At Adamar’s initial parole hearing, conducted on January 16, 2009, the Board of Parole Hearings (Board) denied parole. Adamar filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus contending that the Board’s decision violated due process because it was not supported by evidence demonstrating that he would currently be a danger to the public if released on parole.
