A man who beat a Topeka toddler to death in 1995 has been granted parole.
The Kansas parole board determined that Glenn Allen Heath Jr., 46, will be released on or after Dec. 1 if an approved plan is in place. The parole board had turned down Heath's three previous requests for parole.
Heath was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder in the October 1995 beating death of Cain Baker, 2, his then-fiancee's stepson.
Heath's supporters say he has no prison disciplinary violations, has completed five prison programs, has a strong support system and a job offer.
