After 34 years behind bars for his role in the killing of NYPD cop Edward Byrne, Scott Cobb will be released from Dannemora maximum security prison next month.
"New York City police officers are absolutely sickened by this parole decision, and New Yorkers who care about safe streets should be, too," Hendry said, calling on lawmakers to"fix the broken parole system so that none of the other Byrne assassins go free."
Scott Cobb is pictured during his trial for the killing of New York Police Department Officer Edward Byrne on March 7, 1989. "Is it any wonder that New York cops are angry and demoralized after seventeen cop killers have been paroled since 2017 by Parole Board members appointed by Governors Cuomo and Hochul," former NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton wrote in a Thursday LinkedIn post."The parole of one of the murderers of the NYPD Officer Edward Byrne is just the latest outrage being committed under the guise of criminal justice reform.
Lawrence Byrne, the former head of the NYPD's Legal Bureau, spoke out against the paroling of his brother's killers before his death in 2020.
