New York: Judith Clark, former Weather Underground radical granted parole

NBC: Judith Clark, a former Weather Underground radical who drove the getaway car in a deadly 1981 Brink’s heist — in which two police officers and a guard were killed — was granted parole after serving more than 37 years in a New York prison.

In 2016, Gov. Andrew Cuomo commuted her 75-years-to-life sentence and made her eligible for parole.

Prosecutors and law enforcement groups have been bitterly opposed to her parole. Rockland County Executive Ed Day called the parole board’s ruling an insult to the victims’ loved ones.

“Today’s ruling by the parole board is a cruel and unjust slap in the face to the families of Sergeant Edward O’Grady, Officer Waverly `Chipper’ Brown and Brinks guard Peter Paige,” Day said in a statement.“This perversion of justice is a sad continuation of the deadly assault on police officers happening across our Nation and signals to the criminal element that it is open season on cops. The parole board and the elected officials responsible for allowing this domestic terrorist to walk free should be ashamed.”  more

  1. “I look at the world differently now,” Clark said in her letter asking Cuomo for clemency. “Instead of abstract slogans, I see and am moved by flesh-and-blood people.”

    Maybe the morons of the parole board should have asked “which” “flesh-and-blood people” she is thinking about…

  2. Apparently she has truly repented of her past sins and has been forgiven in the time-honored Christian tradition.

    Or maybe it was because she was only an accessory to the crime and not an actual murderess.

    Or maybe…

  3. I believe in the Christian ideal of forgiveness, but that is God’s business, and individual’s business, not the court’s.
    Justice for heinous acts needs to be righteous and fair for those who have been harmed.
