Larry McClinton, who pled guilty in 1993 to one count of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder in Rapides Parish, was denied parole today by the Louisiana Board of Pardons and Committee on Parole. McClinton had also previously entered a guilty plea to manslaughter in a separate Grant Parish case and is serving a sentence of life plus 30 years.

District Attorney Phillip Terrell appeared before the Board to oppose McClinton’s application for release. After hearing arguments, the Board voted to deny parole, keeping McClinton in custody.
