From our media partners at WOOD TV:

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The Michigan Parole Board failed to do its job when it ordered the release of Alpine Manor Nursing Home serial killer Catherine Wood from prison, a judge ruled Thursday.

Kent County Circuit Judge Joseph Rossi ordered the parole board to once again review Wood’s request for parole.

“A potential serial killer who conspired to commit a series of murders to keep her love cannot become a mere checkmark in the press of the Court’s or the Board’s daily business,” the judge wrote in the five- page ruling.

“The assurance of public safety requires an exceptional level of diligence and care in arriving at this decision,” the judge added.

In his ruling issued on Thursday, Rossi ruled the parole board failed to determine the risk posed by releasing Wood.
