(Portland, OR) -- Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez has stopped the early release of convicted murderer Frank Swopes. Former DA Mike Schmidt wanted to release Swopes and four other inmates. Vasquez said after reviewing the facts of the Swopes' case, the crime spree resulted in the death of one woman and the sexual assault of another. He said it wasn't in the best interest of the surviving victims to release Swopes. Vasquez is reviewing the other cases.
