A recording of a Clemency Board hearing on April 6 shows newer board members also have reservations about Huff being out prison.
"In my view, after reading all the evidence in the file, he should never have been put on home arrest," said one board member. "If it's at all possible, my view is to revoke his home arrest and send him back to prison. I think he's a danger to the community," she said.
But after a discussion with attorneys from the Arizona Attorney General's Office during executive session, the board voted to keep Huff on home arrest.
"I just want to say that I would not put him on home arrest to begin with. However, he is on home arrest and we can't change that," said the board member.
"That crime was committed 50 years ago," said CT Wright, Ph.D., who is the current chair of the Arizona Board of Executive Clemency. "The parole officer indicated to this board that he was one of their best inmates that he'd had tom work with," he said.
Wright and Ellen Kirschbaum, who was the chair of the board when it voted to release Huff said they looked at the nature of the offense, Huff's criminal history and clean record while in prison, as well as the statements of the victims' families.
"It's a decision I made being on the board at that time. I stand by all my decisions," said Kirschbaum.
When asked whether she could say that Huff was no longer a danger to the community, here was her response:
"I don't think I can answer that question," she said.
