PBA Statement on the Impending Release of Cop-Killer Robert Hayes

PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said:

"Like other cop-killers up for parole, this murderous terrorist is wrongfully benefitting from a gap in the law that occurred after New York's death penalty was judged unconstitutional and before the sentence of life without possibility of parole was instituted. It is long past time for our state leaders to take action to fix the holes they've torn open in our parole system and stop these cop-killing monsters from escaping into our streets. The buck has to stop somewhere, because right now the Parole Board seems to think they are only accountable to the criminals themselves."
