Mootispaw
By a 7-3 margin, the Ohio Parole Board voted recently in favor of granting Rusty Mootispaw release from prison on or after Feb. 16, 2021 subject to strict conditions of parole.
Mootispaw has served 39 years in prison after being convicted in 1981 of murdering Lillian McCarty, an 85-year-old Washington C.H. woman.
In the Ohio Parole Board decision and minutes document released this week, the board found that Mootispaw, 57, “has served a sufficient portion of his sentence, has completed programming to abate his risk to reoffend, has made an acceptable institutional adjustment and has a supportive release plan thereby rendering him suitable for release onto parole supervision at this time.”
