PBA President Patrick J. Lynch Reacts to
Sentencing of Cop-Shooter William Hodges
"This 25-year sentence sends a strong message that there
is a heavy price to pay for shooting a police officer. The PBA
is also pleased that the conviction and sentencing of William
Hodges demonstrates how much of an anti-police bias Judge Laura
Blackburne had when she wrongfully dismissed charges against this
attempted cop-killer. Justice has been served and New York City
will be safer because of it."
