Sherrick stabbed them with an ice pick and kitchen knife, and cut off Russell Holden's finger to get his ring.

Sherrick has been up for parole before, but this was the first time a member of the Holden family was able to speak to the parole board.

Sherrick will be eligible for parole again in three years.
