SAN FRANCISCO — Two Bay Area men who were convicted and sent to prison for participating in the notorious racially-motivated killing spree known as the Zebra murders in the 1970s have been denied what may be their final chance at freedom.

Jessie Lee Cooks, 75, agreed this month to postpone a scheduled parole hearing until sometime after his 80th birthday, in 2025. Cooks’ co-defendant, Larry Craig Green, 67, was denied parole for five years at a hearing last August.
