Cheryl Cole Candelaresi, Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich and others spoke Thursday about how Roland Reaves should never be freed.Reeves and Ricardo Woods were planning to rob a UDF that used to be on Florence Avenue. Someone saw them and called police. Officer David Cole pulled up called them over. Reaves used Woods as a shield then pushed him aside and shot Cole. They ran away from the scene but came back to shoot him again.They were caught after Reaves bragged about killing a cop. Both men were convicted and sentenced to die.After Ohio's death penalty law was declared unconstitutional their sentences were were commuted to life. Then Woods was paroled in 1994. No one knew until after it happened. Many have vowed that won't happen with Reeves."So every few years, Roland Reeves gets another chance at his freedom. And every few years, Cheryl has to come back and fight all over again. She's been doing this for 52 years," said Ken Kober, president of the Queen City Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 69.<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=4IyvjQ_1GnpNMmN00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=4IyvjQ_1GnpNMmN00" width="800" height="450" >"He robbed David of a lifetime or a future for him and for us. So David deserves all our help into keeping him in prison," said Candelaresi"Roland Reeves has lived 52 years that David never got. He's already had more mercy than he ever showed for David," added Kober.<img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=10ATIp_1GnpNMmN00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=10ATIp_1GnpNMmN00" width="800" height="450" >"This man committed a heinous crime, damaged the lives of countless people, and has no business walking free among us. He's a cop killer. I believe he'll do it again," said Hamilton County Prosecutor Connie Pillich. His case is listed on the Parole Watch page on the prosecutor's website"In 2017, more than a thousand people emailed the prosecutor's office to oppose Reeves' release," said Kober. "We hope that we're going to have at least another thousand this time, as well."</div></body>
