The Placer County District Attorney’s Office is joining Justine Vanderschoot’s family in their plea to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to deny her murderers’ request to be released from prison. 

Brandon Fernandez was DENIED parole on July 28 and Daniel Bezemer was denied his parole hearing with the CDCR parole board on August 10.

In Oct. 2022, the Executive Board of the Board of Parole Hearings, a division of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, voted to vacate Daniel Bezemer’s Aug. 10. 

>>Daniel Bezemer's new parole hearing will be March 23, 2023 at 8:30 a.m.<<
 

Daniel Bezemer and his friend Brandon Fernandez admitted to the strangulation and murder of Justine Vanderschoot in 2003. In 2005, Bezemer received a sentence of 25 years to life and Fernandez received a sentence of 15 years to life.
