## Opinion text

Locher, J.,
concurring.
I concur in the opinion for the reasons expressed therein and for a further and more basic justification not heretofore enunciated. When felons are granted parole without adherence to the statutory procedures of E. C. 2967.12, a needless risk is placed upon each individual in our society. An obvious intent of the General Assembly to safeguard the community can not and should not be expunged from the system of granting parole.
