Man who killed family rejects parole conditions

BUFFALO -- A man who was a teenage honors student when he killed his family and a neighbor in 1985 has refused to accept parole conditions that could have gotten him out of prison next week.

John Justice, then 17, fatally stabbed his parents, John W. and Mary Dubill Justice, and 13-year-old brother, Mark, in their Kenmore home. Then he killed the neighbor, Wayne Haun, in a car crash.

He was scheduled for conditional release on Friday.

"He won't be released," said Linda M. Foglia, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Correction. "He's got to accept the conditions in order to be released into the community."

"What he's probably doing is saying: 'Don't release me. I'll serve the maximum and then I'm done. You'll have no control over me,' " John R. Nuchereno, an attorney who previously represented Justice, told The Buffalo News.

It's the second time Justice has objected to the terms of his release, which include substance-abuse testing and granting his parole officer access to online accounts and electronic devices.

His maximum sentence expires on Sept. 7, 2015.
