Good: Parole Board does right by keeping Judith Clark in prison

Kudos to the State Parole Board for denying release to Judith Clark, the domestic terrorist who became eligible for parole after Gov. Cuomo commuted her sentence last year.

Clark helped plan the 1981 robbery of a Brink’s armored car in Nyack and drove the getaway car. The robbers killed Brinks guard Peter Page and Nyack Police Officers Waverly Brown and Edward O’Grady.

Clark was reaching for a weapon when apprehended — and, as the board noted, her rap sheet already included aggravated battery, aiding escape, mob action and resisting arrest. Nor did she repent: When sentenced, she spoke of being at “at war with America.”

Cuomo justified his clemency by praising her as a model prisoner who’d made “exceptional strides in self-development.” The survivors of Page, Brown and O’Grady disagree, as did 10,000-plus petitioners.

The board unanimously found her release to be “incompatible with the welfare of society,” as she remains “a symbol of violent and terroristic crime.”

She had been ineligible for parole until 2056. Cuomo’s mercy means she’ll get a chance every two years, next in 2019.

The left-wing push to spring her will never end. It’s up to the families of the murdered, and all New Yorkers who stand for justice, to keep reminding the Parole Board why Judith Clark should never walk free.
