ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A former radical who drove a getaway car during a Brinks armored car robbery that led to the deaths of two police officers and a security guard has been denied parole.
The New York state Parole Board denied Judith Clark’s bid for parole on Friday even after Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo met with Clark in prison and made the decision to commute her sentence.
Clark has served 35 years of a maximum 75-year sentence for her role in the 1981 robbery.
Clark became eligible for parole after Cuomo commuted her sentence, saying that she had made “exceptional strides in self-development” while incarcerated.
A spokeswoman for Cuomo said the governor respects the parole board’s decision.
Clark’s lawyer, Steve Zeidman, said the decision ignores Clark’s “extraordinary record of achievement and transformation.”
