Keith Burley was also on parole when he allegedly stabbed an 8-year-old boy to death in Lawrence County.

The head of the Department of Corrections said an internal review found "no misconduct or policy or rule violations" that had an impact on those crimes.

Even after that report, the department is making a list of recommendations including improving information shared with those who make recommendations to the parole board and creating a committee to review and report on all murders committed by parolees.
