The New York Parole Board postponed a decision on releasing notorious cop killer David McClary until after the June primaries, raising allegations of political maneuvering to benefit former Governor Andrew Cuomo's mayoral candidacy. Critics, including Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa and Democratic Councilman Robert Holden, argue that the delay is politically motivated, as Cuomo's board, which he mostly appointed, has released numerous cop killers. This situation sheds light on the intersection of crime, law enforcement, and electoral politics in New York City's current political landscape.
'This makes sense since he still controls a majority of the [parole] board. It behooves him to push this off as far as he can because itâs his Achilles heel.'
'The fact that Cuomo's parole board is delaying a vote on a cop killer until after the June primaries reeks of political gamesmanship.'
