4 PAROLE COMISSIONERS NAMED TO SENTENCING-REFORM PANEL

Gov. George Allen on Wednesday appointed four members of his parole abolition commission, including the co-chairman, to a 17-member panel that will write sentencing guidelines for use in felony cases.

Former federal prosecutor Richard Cullen of Richmond will be joined on the Virginia Sentencing Commission by Richmond City Manager Robert Bobb, Danville Commonwealth's Attorney William Fuller and victims' rights advocate Joe Ann Bruce of Hanover County.

Cullen was co-chairman of the Governor's Parole Abolition and Sentencing Commission, which developed the recently approved plan for ending parole for crimes committed after Jan. 1.
