On August 26, 2006, Austin cyclist Arjun Khanna was struck and killed by driver Jeremy Ron Wigley. Police found Wigley to be intoxicated, and since he was on parole for earlier convictions, he was jailed and later convicted of Intoxication Manslaughter. This conviction carries a ten year term in addition to Wigley’s previous convictions.
Wigley has recently applied for parole on these convictions, and the family of Arjun Khanna would like your help in writing the parole board and requesting that his parole be denied. All letters are confidential.

To All,
Jeremy was not serving 10 years for Possession with intent to deliver Controlled Substance (Meth), and 10 years for Burglary of a Habitation. He got 10 years total for both of the above charges.
I more then some of you know wht it is like to lose a child after all I lost 2 children in a car accident and the state of Texas was at fault but they got by with murder.
Jeremy was in prison at the time. Lance and Adam were on their way to visit him when they were killed and he has blamed himself for their death.
I am not one of those parents that says my child does no wrong or has no problems after all I was the one that turned him in for the burglary.
I have watched him over the last 3 years and he has changed alot. Unless you are God ( and ou are not) you do not know if he is a danger and threat to society.
When you write things like this remember he has a family also who are hurting and missing him. I do believe he needed to pay for what he did but I also know he was NOT intoxicated. There was a witness that said a box flew out of the back of a truck in front of him and he swerved to miss it and hit the cyclist. I also know that he was terrified and took a methadone pill and this is what he was charged on.
Please be considerate of all families involved.
