Malcolm X Assassin Granted Parole
---------------------------------



And the lone person to confess to killing Malcolm X has been granted
parole forty-five years after the murder. Thomas Hagan has been jailed
since February 21st, 1965, when he and several others shot Malcolm X as
he spoke before a packed audience in Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom. Hagan
has been on work release for over twenty years, but has still been
required to spend two days a week in a Manhattan prison.
