Opposing Clemency for Brinks Robbery Driver Judith Clark

Judith Clark, 64, is seeking clemency again. The Bedford Hills Correction Facility inmate was the getaway driver in the Brinks armored truck robbery Oct. 20, 1981.

Two Nyack police officers and a Brinks guard were killed that day. Peter Paige was shot during the armored truck robbery at the Nanuet Mall and Sgt. Edward O’Grady and Officer Waverly Brown were killed as they manned a roadblock to stop a getaway truck.

Hundreds of people turn out each year to honor their memories in an annual ceremony at Brinks Memorial Park at the entrance to the New York State Thruway in Nyack.

In 2013, then-county lawmaker Ed Day called on Columbia University to fire Professor Kathy Boudin, who had been a participant in the robbery.

Now the County Executive, Day is supporting county District Attorney Thomas Zugibe, who will file his opposition to clemency, reports The Journal News.

STATEMENT OF COUNTY EXECUTIVE ED DAY: NO CLEMENCY FOR BRINKS KILLER JUDITH CLARK

To overturn the jury’s decision now would be a cruel and unjust slap in the face to the families of Sergeant Edward O’Grady, Officer Waverly “Chipper” Brown and Brinks guard Peter Paige. Nine children were left without fathers in the wake of this brutal and morally reprehensible crime. The conduct of Judith Clark - and her fellow radicals - was so abhorrent, it simply warrants the imposition of life in prison to ensure that justice is served and society is protected. As a member of law enforcement at the time of this incident, I strongly believe Clark deserves the same sentence she inflicted on her victims. I commend District Attorney Zugibe for his efforts to fight clemency for this cold-blooded killer.
