Spadafora's boot camp application denied
May 12 2005 11:43PM (CT)
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Former lightweight boxing champion Paul Spadafora can't participate in the state Department of Corrections' boot camp program, prison officials decided. Spadafora, who is serving time for shooting his now-fiancee in 2003, could have been paroled before the end of the year if he had been admitted to the six-month program. But now, he must complete a violence-prevention program before he can be considered for the boot camp again, said DOC spokeswoman Sheila Moore.
