Leone appealed based on the grounds that the board did not give him an adequate risk assessment and Leone's negative behaviour from more than 12 years ago was considered.
The Appeal Division of the board ordered a new review as the 'board did not demonstrate consideration of all of your submissions in its risk assessment.'
Leone's lawyer pushed for full parole and removal of all special conditions, except one to ensure that he continues with his medical regime.
The 42-year-old Leone was granted day parole in April of last year for six months which has since been extended.
