NJ judges allow man who murdered trooper in 1973 to live out life as free man

[Gefn]

TRENTON – The state Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the parole of a Black Liberation Army activist convicted for the 1973 murder of a state trooper on the New Jersey Turnpike.

The Supreme Court voted 3-2 to reverse the State Parole Board’s latest of eight denials of the release of Sundiata Acoli, 85. It found that there is not a substantial likelihood that, if released, Acoli would commit another crime.

“Our order releasing Acoli on parole does not absolve him of the senseless crimes he committed almost fifty years ago,” the court said.

“He is not released out of sympathy or compassion. He must be released because the statutory standards for granting parole have been met. Neither the Parole Board nor this Court has discretion to suspend the law in a special case.”

I don't give a rats ass that the guy is 85 and they don't think he'll commit another crime, what's the downside to him if he does, he committed murder and murder of a Trooper at that. He should have been executed and short of that, honest to God life in prison also means death in prison! Did his victim get a chance at parole from death?

If there is justice this SOB will get run over by a bus before he gets to be a hero to mush minded idiots on the street.
