We were so thrilled to return to town to the news that Mike's killer was denied parole! We celebrate with the family over this hard fought win and will continue to support your battle when the time comes again. You are NEVER alone in your fight for right!

My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Det Michael Mayborne for having to go through this ugly process year after year. Such a great loss of a wonderful person. I have signed the petition that will hopefully keep this cop killer where he should spend the rest of his days. My prayers are with all of you!

Michael Mayborne...you are my hero.

In memory of my friend and Brother Mike. I will always carry your "Torch of Honor" and never let your love, service and sacriface be forgotten. In your memory, we will always be your faithful soldiers.

As a former shipmate of Michael, the victim of this outrage committed by Theodore Bacino; as well as, a concerned citizen and resident of the State of Illinois, I am strongly opposing any parole consideration for Theodore Bacino. While Theodore Bacino may be old and infirm he is still alive and Michael is not. Theodore Bacino willfully and knowingly shot Michael while Michael was executing his duties as a peace officer in attempting to apprehend Theodore Bacino following a bank robbery and aborted kidnapping. Theodore Bacino displayed a complete lack of regard for rules governing society, and as a result, took the life of a fine officer, husband and father, and former cold war submarine veteran. It is a simple matter of respect for those loved ones left behind, our law-abiding society and our criminal justice system that Theodore Bacino never leave his cell. I stand firmly against any parole consideration for this dreg of society.

One of our Police Officers sent me the link for the parole petition. I have passed it on to other P/O's. I pray that your family stays strong and Mike's murderer stay where he belongs..Locked away from decent citizens. Having lost several friends on this job in violent confrontations with these cowards, the only consolation I get is that we now have another looking out for us from above and hopefully guiding us during our daily encounters on the street. Let's hope that the Illinois Parole Board uses common sense and does not bend to any special interests groups or the media in their decision.

Cop Killer Bacino should never be paroled but what is even more embarrassing is that his family must be put through the ringer every year just to keep this piece of garbage in his cell where he probably has too many priveleges. My heart goes out to his family. God bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Mayborne family. He should never get out.
