San Fran DA Boudin cheers Cuomo granting clemency to convicted murderer father
Fox News
San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin said Monday his “heart is bursting” after outgoing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo granted clemency to his father, a former member of the left-wing militant group Weather Underground, who is behind bars for his role in a 1981 armed robbery that left three people dead.
"He has served 40 years of a 75-years-to-life sentence, related to an incident in which he was the driver, not the murderer," the press release stated. "While incarcerated, Mr. Gilbert has made significant contributions to AIDS education and prevention programs; he has also worked as a student tutor, law library clerk, paralegal assistant, a teacher's aide, and an aide for various additional facility programs." Boudin, who was elected San Francisco district attorney in 2019, was only 3 when his father went to prison. His mother was also involved in the heist and was imprisoned until 2003 after pleading guilty to felony murder and robbery.More Related News
