A parole board on Friday denied a bid for parole from a woman who in 1984 convinced five Camp Pendleton Marines to kill her Marine husband, who was ambushed and fatally shot after she lured him to a deserted site.
Laura Ann Troiani, 59, will not be eligible to be considered for parole for another three years following her denial. She remains incarcerated at the California Institute for Women in Chino.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A parole hearing is scheduled this week for a woman convicted of hiring five U.S. Marines to kill her husband in Oceanside more than 35 years ago, and the San Diego County District Attorney s Office said Tuesday it would be opposing her release.
Laura Troiani, now 59, was convicted of the murder of her 37-year-old husband, Carlo, who was shot in the back on an Oceanside roadway in 1984.
The DA s Office says Troiani recruited the Marines to commit the killing by promising them a portion of the life insurance money she would collect once her husband was dead.

Despite repeated assurances that corrections officials have made progress in controlling spread of the coronavirus, California prisons are in the midst of a deadly surge.
At least 46 inmates have died from COVID-19 since Dec. 25, along with two staff members. They include one of America’s most prolific serial killers, Samuel Little, and Officer George Solis, a husband and father of two who died on Christmas Day.
“The prison system is not doing their part to keep them safe,” said Terressa Johnson, whose sister is an inmate at the women’s facility in Chowchilla, where there are more than 300 active cases. “In the last six months, it’s gotten worse.”
