California Gov. Jerry Brown has decided to allow freedom to a woman who received a life sentence.
She was sentenced to die in prison for the 1994 shooting death of George Gilbert Howard.
Brown's decision on Kruzan's case came nearly two weeks before the deadline for his action. The parole board was expected to act on the decision on Monday.
Kruzan is housed at the Central California Women's Facility in Chowchilla.
Her aunt told the Associated Press she wasn't surprised by the governor's action. "I just wondered why it took so long," Ann Rogen of Riverside said.
