人兽性交

Dain Schneider, 41, also reflected on the way his behavior led to the death of Chloe Calhoun during interviews with the New York State Board of Parole in March 2023 and this past March. Transcripts of the interviews were recently obtained by 人兽性交 through a Freedom of Information Law request. Schneider, who was sentenced to seven to 24 years in prison in October 2016, was released April 30.

Calhoun's parents, James Vasile and Rori Calhoun, have declined comment to 人兽性交 on Schneider's parole.

In May, the Cayuga County District Attorney's Office called the release "an insult to Chloe's memory and an injustice to the community," and evidence of "New York's lenient sentencing laws."聽

人兽性交 could not reach Schneider for comment through his attorney, David Elkovitch. In a statement to 人兽性交, Elkovitch said his client's release was not early, as the district attorney's office described it, since he was denied parole in 2023 and ultimately served 8.5 years. Elkovitch also said prosecutors recommended the sentence for aggravated vehicular homicide that his client accepted.

"Dain Schneider made his own parole based upon his conduct in prison and what he accomplished there," Elkovitch said in an email. "He was not given parole will-nilly, but earned it."

'Complete disregard for human life'

While the parole board's March interview with Schneider does not include any reasoning for its decision to grant his release, commissioners said his personal statement showed "self-reflection." That continued during the interview, which took place at聽Wyoming Correctional Facility in Buffalo. Commissioner Erin McCabe first asked Schneider if he felt his 2023 parole denial was right.

"I don't know that I felt it was the wrong decision," he said. "I just felt that I worked so hard to get where I got and I made so many changes that, you know, I just really want to get home to my family."

McCabe responded by noting Calhoun never went back to her family.

"That's very true, yes,"聽Schneider said. "She never gets to experience anything ever again because of me and my actions. Her family, I can't imagine the pain every single day."聽

The interview went on to cover the details of the accident on July 27, 2016, on East Lake Road near Tom Thumb Drive-In in Owasco.

Schneider said he spent that day the same way he spent most of them at the time, drinking beer and whiskey at half a dozen bars in Owasco, Skaneateles and Auburn. He acknowledged his driver's license had been revoked after a 2011 conviction for driving while intoxicated, one of two he had on his record. But the worst thing he imagined happening, he said, was getting pulled over again.

"It sounds like you were almost in robot mode," McCabe said.

The commissioner later asked Schneider why he was driving about 100 mph to get home 鈥� with a blood alcohol content of .23% 鈥� when he crashed into Calhoun's vehicle from behind.

"I don't know," he said. "I had complete disregard for human life, for the law, for anybody around me."聽

Schneider said he remembers driving home and being told by a detective that he had killed Calhoun, but not the accident itself. McCabe noted his emotions as he recalled hearing the news.

"I want the record to reflect that you are taking pauses and becoming emotional and that should be the healthy human response, right?" she said. "How often do you think about it?"

"Multiple times a day," he responded. "I just can't believe it."

Asked whether he had attended any presentations about the impact of DWI after his previous convictions, Schneider said he was never required to. But he was familiar with the consequences of DWI, he continued, as his friend's little brother was killed by a drunk driver in high school. He then said he is willing to speak to others about what McCabe called "the life-altering trauma that you caused."

As the interview concluded, the commissioner noted that Schneider had received several letters of support, including an "incredibly touching" one from someone whose name was redacted. McCabe also asked him whether he would be able to continue working in landscaping without being able to drive, and he said he would. The commissioner stressed that he can no longer drink or drive.聽

"It's really imperative that you flip the script of every other time you've been convicted and you operate differently," McCabe said.

"Whatever your personal journey has to be your journey, but you cannot subject the rest of the community to a weapon the road and that's what a car is when you're operating it under the influence."

The commissioner continued, "Any time that you feel weak ... think about (Calhoun) and her family and their lifelong trauma, right?"

'I cannot drink ever again'

Schneider said "I cannot drink ever again" during his March 2023 interview with the parole board, which also includes further details on the work he completed in prison. While some of that information is redacted, he said he was working as a mobility assistant and completed volunteer programming. Commissioner Erik Berliner said he is "what we would call program satisfied."聽

Still, Schneider's history showed what Commissioner Charles Davis called a "quite disturbing" recurrence of crimes. Along with the DWIs, the commissioner noted, Schneider had been convicted of acting in a manner injurious to a child, trespassing and burglary, all of which he said was a result of his drinking. Asked by Berliner if he would get into trouble again if he drank, he said, "It's guaranteed."

"All I can do is make sure it never happens again and share my story with as many people as possible," Schneider said. "I am not going to fail. I refuse to. There's too much. That poor girl's life is gone."

However, the board denied his request for early release, citing "a reasonable probability that if released at this time, you would not live and remain at liberty without again violating the law."
