Parole board rejects Cuomo's request to release Brinks robbery driver
|
In a startling rebuff, the New York State Parole Board denied the release of ex-Weather Underground radical Judith Clark from prison after Gov. Cuomo commuted her sentence.
Clark, 67 was convicted for her role as the get-a-way driver in the infamous 1981 Brinks robbery in which two Nyack police officers and a security guard were killed.
The three victims whose lives were snuffed out were Officers Edward O'Grady and Waverly Brown and security guard/driver Peter Paige.
Clark became eligible for parole after Cuomo, in an extraordinary decision, commuted her 75-year-to-life sentence last December ‐ giving her the right to make her case to the Parole Board.
Without his intervention, she would not have been eligible for parole until 2056 and would likely have died behind bars.
But in a unanimous decision, the three-member parole board member concluded that the severity of Clark's crime's outweighed her good behavior and deeds in prison and calls for her release.
"We do find that your release at this time is incompatible with the welfare of society . . . .You are still a symbol of violent and terroristic rime," parole board members Tina Stanford, Kevin Ludlow and Sally Thompson its decision.
They also noted that Clark had a criminal record of aggravated battery, aiding escape, mob action and resisting arrest prior to her New York crimes. And she was unrepentant at her sentencing, referring to herself as "at war with America."
