New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has decided to commute the sentence of a domestic terrorist, Judith Alice Clark, who willingly participated in a bloody robbery that led to the deaths of a security guard and two police officers. Clark, who pleaded not guilty, but was convicted of felony murder, had been sentenced to such a long prison term that she had no real hope for parole during her lifetime – until now. Cuomo’s decision to commute Clark’s sentence will not immediately result in her release, but the steep reduction in her sentence will make her eligible for parole early this year....

McDonnell’s body was hit with shrapnel from a pipe bomb and suffered in a hospital for two days. This is why his death is recorded on February 18 and the blast went off on February 16.

Ayers’ fingerprints were found in a Weather Underground bomb factory discovered by the FBI in San Francisco in 1971. Photographs were taken of the materials, including C-4 plastic explosive. Members of the Weather Underground were taught how to make bombs by the Cuban intelligence service during trips...

A federal judge has ordered a new trial for a woman serving 75 years in prison after she was convicted as a getaway driver in an armored-truck robbery in which a guard and two policemen were killed. U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin said Judith Clark deserves a new trial because no one represented her interests in the courtroom after she insisted on remaining in a cell outside court as the evidence was unveiled in court. The judge said ... that Clark, 56, knowingly and intelligently waived her right to a lawyer. But she said the trial judge failed to ensure...

1010 WINS) NEW YORK A former radical serving 75 years in prison for the deadly 1981 robbery of a Brinks armored truck has asked to be released from prison. She claims she was not given proper legal representation. 55-year-old Judith Clark filed a petition for habeas corpus yesterday in Federal District Court in Manhattan. Clark argues that the judge at her 1983 state trial violated the constitution when he granted Clark's request to serve as her own lawyer. Clark was convicted of three counts of second-degree murder in the 1981 armed robbery, in which a guard and two policemen were...

It looks like the virtual stranglehold that left-wing professors have enjoyed at the nation's colleges and universities has loosened a bit — a development that can only be applauded. Except maybe by one-time terrorist Susan Rosenberg, who has just discovered that her academic tour of New York campuses is being cut short — because of protests from faculty, students and donors alike. Faced with a negative reaction from donors (who closed their checkbooks) and even some prospective students (who withdrew their applications), Rosenberg backed out of a writing seminar she was to teach at upstate Hamilton College. Meanwhile, she...

In any earthly accounting it will never add up. At 12:30 p.m. tomorrow, the U.S. Post Office in Nyack, N.Y., will be renamed in honor of the two police officers and one security guard killed in the murderous 1981 Brink's robbery. As impressive as the honor is, surely it sadly pales next to the gift of freedom the New York parole board recently bestowed on one of the radical Weather Underground members convicted in the crime, Kathy Boudin. The fallen men were Police Sgt. Edward O'Grady, Police Officer Waverly "Chipper" Brown and Brink's security officer Peter Paige--military vets all. No...
