Ronald Reed, convicted of murdering St. Paul officer James Sackett in 1970, faces a pivotal parole decision as the Minnesota Supervised Release Board remains deeply divided—delaying their verdict until September 11. Some members favor a cautious work-release plan over six to nine months, while others push for a one-year denial; the latter lost by a single vote after the Corrections Commissioner sided with further review. Supporters highlight Reed’s prison behavior and productive life before arrest, arguing he poses no threat, though court records paint a darker picture: his ex-girlfriend testified she was directed by Reed to make a false emergency call—and that he wanted to kill a cop. Despite claiming innocence and attempting to overturn his 2006 conviction, Reed remains eligible for parole under old sentencing laws. The board’s final call could reshape his future—or keep him behind bars.
