State calls for new parole hearing for Justine Vanderschoot's convicted killer
PLACER COUNTY - A convicted killer denied parole in August for the murder of his teen girlfriend is now getting another chance at parole.
During Daniel Bezemer's five-hour parole hearing, the recording stopped. Calling it a procedural error, the state is now throwing out the board's denial of his parole, forcing the family of his victim, Justine Vanderschoot, to sit through another painful parole hearing.
The district attorney is fighting the ruling.
Bezemer and his friend Brandon Fernandez are convicted of strangling the 17-year-old in Placer County in 2003 and then burying her alive.
