Radical Killer Gets Parole
AUGUST 22--Sixties radical and convicted murderer Kathy Boudin entered into a life of crime because she didn't "want to be a white person that was just going to say, okay, I'm going to take advantage of the privileges that I grew up with," according to this excerpt of her New York State Division of Parole hearing. After Wednesday's hearing, the board granted Boudin parole, effective October 1. The 60-year-old has been in prison since her arrest for helping members of the Black Liberation Army steal $1.6 million from a Brinks truck in 1981. During the crime, two policemen and a security guard were shot and killed. Boudin, who sat in the passenger seat of the truck carrying the stolen money, also told the board, "I saw myself as not even involved in the robbery in a certain way, because I didn't have a relationship to it. I saw myself as waiting in a parking lot, essentially, to pick people up." (10 pages)
