STATEMENT ON CLEMENCY FOR COP KILLER
New York City Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association president
Patrick J. Lynch said: “It is beyond outrageous for a sitting
City Council member to stand on the steps of City Hall and call
for clemency for a cop killer. Joanne Chesimard killed a New Jersey
State Trooper in cold blood, was convicted of that crime and fled
to Cuba to escape imprisonment. She is a domestic terrorist who
should be returned to the United States where she can pay the penalty
for this cold blooded murder.”
