US Attorney John Durham has urged the New York state parole board to deny David McClary's eighth attempt for parole, reinforcing that McClary's brutal murder of NYPD Officer Eddie Byrne showcases a crime that exemplifies the 'worst of the worst.' McClary received a 25 years-to-life sentence for ambushing Byrne while he was protecting a witness against drug lord Howard Mason. Durham argues that McClary’s claims of rehabilitation are insufficient compared to the gravity of his actions, especially the premeditated nature of executing a police officer on duty.
Durham expressed that McClary’s actions epitomize the ‘worst of the worst’ crimes, highlighting that the murder of Officer Byrne was premeditated and ruthless.
In his letter, Durham firmly stated that any claims McClary makes for his release are 'self-serving and hollow', underscoring the severity of his crime.
