Judith Clark, the getaway driver in a fatal armored car robbery in 1981, has been denied parole, despite support from Governor Andrew Cuomo for her release.
Four months ago, Cuomo sparked controversy after he commuted Clark's life sentence, allowing the former revolutionary to seek early release for her role in the botched robbery of a Brinks truck in Rockland County.
After the ruling, he released a statement saying Clark deserved the opportunity to make her case and he respects the parole board's decision.
Clark has served more than 35 years of a 75-years-to-life sentence for her role in the shooting, which left a guard and two police officers dead.
While Clark’s supporters and the governor said she was totally rehabilitated, her critics, including relatives of the victims, said she didn’t deserve leniency.
The 67-year-old will be eligible for parole again in two years.
