Child killer files suit against state
TIMES WIRE REPORTS
A man who killed an 8-year-old girl has accused state officials of depriving him of the chance to reenter society.
U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel will consider the lawsuit this week but isn’t expected to rule immediately.
Raul Meza, 48, qualified for release from prison in 1993. He received a 30-year sentence for killing and sexually assaulting Kendra Page in Austin in 1982.
Meza charges that parole officials take so long to approve potential job prospects that they’re gone when he applies.
