reconsideration

If the party and its larger constituency of supporters fail to understand this as a moment of reckoning — one that demands a fundamental reconsideration of what the Democrats stand for and whom they represent — the catastrophe could prove fatal.

The panel’s decision sends the case back for reconsideration to a federal court that had previously rejected it.

A Parole Board spokesman said "based on the evidence" the application for reconsideration "will be refused".

"When assessing the reconsideration application, the judge recognised the very significant gravity of the case and the profound ongoing impact on the victim's family."

The Parole Board indicated Gafoor would remain in prison until a decision had been made on an application for reconsideration.
