Richard Brand is up for possible parole again while serving his 15 years to life sentence in state prison as one of the killers in the infamous Kirtland cult slayings.
Lake County Prosecutor Charles E. Coulson said Brand is going before the Ohio Parole Board possibly this month for at least the second time in the case going back to April 17, 1989, when he helped now-executed cult leader Jeffrey Lundgren kill a mother and father and their three school-age daughters.
At the time, Brand agreed with former Prosecutor Steven C. LaTourette, who’s now a congressman, to confess and testify against Lundgren; Lundgren’s wife, Alice; and other killers.
In return, Brand would become eventually eligible for possible parole, which he has been denied at least once, Coulson said.
