A killer who hit his wife with a hammer is not fit to leave prison.

Robert Brown got 24 years for killing his wife and 2 more years for another crime. The Parole Board thought about letting him go, but now he will stay in prison until 2036.

Brown killed his wife, Joanna Simpson, with a hammer. Their two kids were nearby. He buried her body and then told the police.

Joanna's family is happy the Parole Board didn't let Brown go. Her mom said she's relieved and thankful.

Joanna's mom remembers her as a beautiful woman. She's proud of her grandkids, who have grown up to be wonderful people.

Joanna's mom wishes she could tell her about her kids' lives, like going to school and finding jobs. She thinks the kids are strong because of their mom.

Joanna Simpson was killed by her husband.

Brown wasn't found guilty of murder, but he was jailed for killing Joanna and for another crime.

Joanna's friend is relieved the Parole Board didn't let Brown go. She and others were scared he would be released in 2023.

The Parole Board's decision is because of the campaign and support from the public and media. It's about keeping people safe, not just following rules.
