CARROLL'S SENTENCE COMMUTED
New York Gov. David A. Paterson granted clemency Wednesday to a woman
he said made "tremendous achievements" in more than eight years behind
bars. Joanne Carroll, 43, obtained a college degree, trained dogs for
the disabled and worked in a parenting center at Bedford Hills state
prison, Paterson said.
For that, Carroll can apply for parole in January -- 6 1/2 years
before her 15-year sentence ends.
What Paterson didn't mention was the July 17, 2000, crime in Norwich
that put Carroll behind bars.
