A group of Utah crime victims and their families are suing state corrections officials, alleging that violent offenders were wrongfully placed on parole or probation, then improperly monitored, allowing the offenders to commit “avoidable” crimes.
Clarence Newman, one of the plaintiffs named in a lawsuit filed Monday against state corrections officials, sits in the law office of Robert Sykes in Salt Lake City on Monday, May 1, 2023, as he describes when a man broke into his and his wife's home and burned it down.
Four of the plaintiffs named in the lawsuit — Linda Nemelka, Shandon Scott, Farrell Bartschi and Sandra Robles — were all killed by men who had violated their parole, the complaint states. The victims’ family members spoke on their behalf Monday, often pausing as they choked up with emotion. After Noel Munoz Lopez allegedly shot Bartschi in the torso, Lopez’s family came out of the house and confronted him, but Lopez drove off. Lopez’s relatives attempted to render aid to Bartschi, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Before he went to prison, Vos had been convicted of multiple firearms offenses, according to the lawsuit. During his sentence, he attacked another prisoner, the complaint states.
