Convicted Austrian Criminal Josef Fritzl Could Be Eligible for Parole

Fritzl's lawyer advocates for his transfer to a nursing home due to deteriorating health and mental condition.

Josef Fritzl, who was convicted in 2009 for imprisoning his daughter in a basement for 24 years and fathering seven children with her, could be eligible for parole.
Fritzl, now 88, has been serving his life sentence in a special prison unit for the criminally insane in Austria.
His lawyer, Astrid Wagner, has suggested that Fritzl should be moved to a nursing home due to his deteriorating health and mental condition.
A recent psychiatric assessment has deemed Fritzl to be no longer a danger to society, and a court is assessing whether he can be transferred to a different prison unit.
Fritzl's only friend in prison is Alfred U, a convicted cannibal, who is also represented by Wagner.
