Yet before Volz's release papers could be signed, his voluminous case file was mysteriously "lost," prompting his lawyers to cry foul.

He personally intervened to let a convicted murderer and rapist, Wayne DuMond, out of jail, only for DuMond to commit rape and murder again. He has also been heavily criticized by groups like the Club for Growth for an extreme number of tax increases as governor.
