Parole denied for woman who stabbed teen to death at 2012 party
(WAFF) - A parole board denied parole for a Shoals woman convicted of stabbing a 14-year-old at a 2012 house party.
Autumn Wood was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison for the death of Brooklyn Hollins.
During a parole hearing in Montgomery, Wood, who was 17 at the time of the stabbing, was denied parole.
On the phone, Hollins family told WAFF 48 it has been an extremely emotional day and that they're grateful for the support from family and friends, including those from the District Attorney's office and members of the Shoals Victims of Crime and Leniency (VOCAL) chapter.
Hollins' family said they're glad Autumn Wood will remain behind bars for the remainder of her sentence and mentioned these last few years have been anything but easy for their family.

"it's something we'll never be able to get past but when you do get a little bit of peace it seems like it comes back to haunt you like you have to re-live it again," said Brooklyn's uncle, Steven Keeton two weeks ago.
"There's nothing to do to make it right," said Keeton, "she needs to serve her time, that's all we're asking for is to serve her whole sentence."
