ERIC NATHANIEL MARUM 

#F61434

Honorable California Parole Board,

Convicted murderer ERIC Nathaniel MARUM will be up for parole November 2, 2023.

He emotionally abused, manipulated and murdered Nicole Crystal Sinkule on October 16, 2005, at the age of 25 as she slept with a broken leg. He beat her to death with the claw part of a hammer; hitting her over 13 times crushing her skull and leaving the hammer imbedded, in her head! He then fled the scene to wash his hands in the ocean! He was charged with 2nd. degree murder and sentenced to 16 years to life.

Marum started abusing drugs at 16 and at the time of the crime he was a methamphetamine abuser. The record of evidence demonstrates however, the Mr. Marum did not commit the crime soley in a rare, intoxicated rage, but rather in the pattern of escalating intimate partner violence. His longest period of sobriety in the community was only 4 months despite several attempts to participate in rehabilitation programs. (Governor Newsom)

2019 Marum was denied his 1st. parole, BPH stated, "he poses a continued unreasonable risk of danger or threat to public if released" and he was given another 5 yrs.

2022, within 2 he was given another opportunity to try again and this time he was recommended parole.

We took it to the Governor and in his decision, he said, "I find the evidence show that he currently poses an unreasonable danger to society if released from prison this time." The recommended parole was reversed but for only 18 months.

Marum appealed again with the writ of Habeas Corpus. He was denied his writ with the trial court and appellate court of California upheld the denial.

Marum still lacks insight into his crime and coping skills and is a risk factor for violent behavior against women. When asked at his last hearing what he would change in his life if he could, he said, drugs and alcohol nothing about Nicole.! He also said, if paroled he wants to make a Netflix series of Folsom Prison, win a Pfizer Award and maybe an Oscar, go hunting with his dad and get married. **He has changed his plans to become a welder. 2023

The Sinkule's remain fearful if Marum is released and believe he will have a hard time integrating back into society. Because of his contempt and violent history against women, past drug use and not being able to remain sober; his hideous crime of murder, lack of insight, lack of remorse and his grandeurs thinking We agree that he remains a threat to their family, friends, and the community he chooses to live.

I the undersigned join with others who STRONGLY OPPOSE the parole of convicted murderer #F61434 Eric Nathaniel Marum (NATE).

It is the duty of our justice system to protect its people. To have the safety of the victim, the victim's family, and general public considered before any parole or other post-judgment release decision is made. California Constitution Article 1, section 28 Marcy's Law, 16
