Child Killer Woodmansee Withdraws Ballot Request

Convicted child killer Michael Woodmansee won't be voting this election after all.

Woodmansee has widthdrawn his request for an absentee ballot, according to reports.

Woodmansee, who was convicted of killing a 5-year-old boy in 1975, sent a letter to the board last week withdrawing his request for a ballot.

Joseph DeLorenzo, chairman of the board of canvassers, resigned from the board after he refused to sign Woodmansee's ballot. He said he would not take part in a process that let the convicted murderer vote. His resignation came after the state elections board director said that he could be prosecuted for hindering the voting process.

Woodmansee was released from jail last year after being released early from his 40-year sentence for good behavior. He has been voluntarily committed to Eleanor Slater Hospital since.
