ROCHESTER N.Y. — It’s been 25 years since Leroy Anderson was convicted of the death of 23-year-old Michelle Lentine-Forte, who was fatally stabbed repeatedly in her family’s home.

“There were three chances before my sister was murdered for them to keep it in, so I basically told them that it would be on their heads if he got it and did it again,” said Michelle’s sister, Dina Aronson.

On Monday, Anderson was denied parole. He is next scheduled to appear for release in November 2019.

“I felt happy again, I felt relief and I felt safe,” she said, feelings Dina Aronson kept in for so long.

Apprehensions still remain, and she feels more works needs to be done.

“I feel like my summer was taken away from me this year because I had to do all of this and I felt like I was thrust right back into the past day one, so I think it’s going to give me at least a year of peace and then it’s going to bring me right back, again to day one, to keep fighting,” said Aronson.

Since that devastating day back in 1993, she says her family has never been the same.

“It turned us into totally different people,” said Aronson. “We’re not the same people that we were. My mom, like I said, is kind of like an empty shell of which she was and I was trusting and happy-go-lucky.”

Today, Aronson says they are afraid and concerned about her family’s safety, if one day Anderson is released.

“I fear for my life, my kid’s life, my mom’s life, my brother in-laws life and his family,” said Aronson.

So Aronson is working continuously to ensure that Anderson is kept behind bars by petitioning, releasing statements to the parole board and future projects working on legislations to increase parole to at least five years.

“It’s every two years, so picture every year and and a half, and I’m going to have to start working on this all over again,” Aronson added.
