Trumbull County Prosecutor Office against parole of man with long criminal history

The Trumbull County Prosecutor's Office will once again consider to parole an inmate with several felony convictions across multiple counties. 

66-year-old Robert Allen Baksi has been sent to prison nine times between 1978 and 1998, and has been convicted of multiple felonies in Lake, Cuyahoga and Trumbull Counties.

Baksi has a long criminal history, and has been convicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter, aggravated vehicular homicide, grand theft and corrupting with drugs. 

Baksi was last eligible for parole in 2016, and was denied after Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins wrote that Baksi was "a modern-day "revolving door" subscriber to prison life." 

Baksi has been incarcerated at Richland Correctional Institution since 1998, after being sentenced for involuntary manslaughter and corrupt drug trafficking in heroin. 

Watkins writes, "please keep him where he is removed from others in society until January 16, 2034, as the law provides, and common sense requires."
