PAROLE BOARD: MAZZ'S JOE LOPEZ TO BE FREE IN 4 MONTHS

By Juan Montoya
It's official.
Joe Lopez, the legendary frontman for El Grupo Mazz will be released in about four months following the approval of his release on parole from the Texas Corrections Department Ellis Unit.
The decision was posted on the Texas Board of Paroles just yesterday (Friday). 
Lopez will not be released until he completes a Sex Offender Education Program. He is scheduled for release four months after January 2017.
Lopez had been incarcerated since 2006 after his conviction in Cameron County by former District Attorney Armando Villalobos. His family has long contended that Villalobos fabricated DNA evidence to get the conviction.

Unfortunately, if he is released, it it a reflection of how women are less than the men in the culture. We see how ISIS treats women, and we are not far behind here in the Mexican culture.

Every incarcerate inmate has a bum rap story. Every family member claims "he was framed". I would not expect to see him playing gigs where any kind of beer or booze is sold as that would violate the terms of his paroll. So you beer swilling Mexicans may be SOL.

I guess he was not as big a personality like Donald "Cheetoo Mussolini" Trump who can get away with grabbing woman by the kitty & lusting after his own daughter.

Sexual predators CAN NOT be rehabilitated!!! Minors approached him when he was famous and his mind it was okay to have sex with them, he is sexual offender and will always be one. He is like any other sexual offender out there....Sick and dangerous to all children!!!
