RICHMOND, Va. (AP) 鈥� An outside probe into how Virginia鈥檚 government watchdog agency conducted an investigation of a controversial parole decision found no inappropriate outside interference and concluded that the lead investigator was likely 鈥渋mpaired by personal bias.鈥�

The report was essentially an investigation of an investigation into the highest-profile part of a long-running, bitter and mostly partisan dispute over the work of the state parole board.
