Mom in Cult Killing Getting Out of Prison

Debi Leonard will be released from prison next Thursday.

She was given a sentence of five years prison, plus five years parole for her role in the beating death of son Lucas Leonard, 19, in the Word of Life cult outside of Utica -- the story chronicled in my book, Without a Prayer: The Death of Lucas Leonard and How One Church Became a Cult.

Without a Prayer: The Death of Lucas Leonard and How One Church Became a Cult

Debi's release date is listed officially as January 18 (Saturday), 2020. But New York prisons don't release on weekends. And since she's going on parole, release will likely be Thursday (and not Friday), to get her ready for parole.
