For the 15th time, the State Board of Parole has refused to grant freedom to a Modesto man convicted of murder, reaffirming the notion that some wounds time just can’t heal. George Ruiz Palomar Jr., now 66, remains behind bars after the recent parole hearing at California State Prison, Sacramento. He is serving a life term for the 1981 murder of David Perez and the attempted murder of Michael Rosales, according to a public statement by the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office.
