On Thursday, members of the Rockland community will be joining police, firefighters, and EMS for the annual memorial ceremony to honor the victims, officers Waverly Chipper Brown and Edward O'Grady, and Brink's guard Peter Paige. A task force tracked down those responsible, and nine people associated with the Black Liberation Army and the radical group the Weather Underground were convicted.
The 10th was killed during a gunfight with police, and two others were convicted of conspiracy and racketeering related to the robbery. David Gilbert was sentenced to 75 years in prison, but in August 2021, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo commuted Gilbert's sentence just hours before he resigned.
