The parole board approved commuting Thomas Koonce's sentence in February, and this week he told the board he now has a place to live and a job offer. The parole board must now decide if it will grant parole.
Thomas Koonce, who has been incarcerated for three decades for first-degree murder, answers questions from the Governor's Council. His attorney Timothy Foley, right.
Koonce appeared at the parole board's Natick offices in a suit and tie, shackled at the wrists and ankles. Many of Koonce's supporters filled the room, including his son, Thomas Andrews; Conan Harris, who is married to Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley; and Governor's Council member Marilyn Devaney. Koonce, of Brockton, was held in prison for about 30 years for firing a shot during a melee that killed Mark Santos of New Bedford in 1987.
"I would like to sincerely apologize to the Santos family for having to endure this very painful process as a direct result of my actions," Koonce said."I will continue to honor his life through the life-changing restorative justice work that I will continue to do — inside or outside of prison walls."
