Paula Bohovesky, aspiring actress and high school honor student.
New York state lawmakers are calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to block the release of a man convicted in the 1980 murder of a 16-year-old girl in a crime so depraved it stunned law enforcement and shook a close-knit community to its core.
Paula Bohovesky, an aspiring actress and high school honor student, was beaten, sexually assaulted and stabbed to death as she walked home from a local library in the quiet hamlet of Pearl River, N.Y., a village 40 miles north of New York City.
A jury convicted Richard LaBarbera and Robert McCain of second-degree murder in 1981, and the two men were sentenced to 25 years to life in prison – the toughest sentence possible at that time.
On Wednesday, a parole board of Cuomo appointees informed Bohovesky’s family that LaBarbera will be released in July – a move that shocked victim advocates, state lawmakers and the girl’s mother, who said in a statement released by a family friend: “It’s all about the state’s decision to reduce the prison population.”
LaBarbera, 66, who was out on parole for a drug-related offense at the time of the killing, has never claimed responsibility for Bohovesky’s death – a common prerequisite before a criminal is released. Neither has McCain, 58, who goes before the same parole board in June.
“Both of these killers never expressed remorse, regret, shame or accepted responsibility for this beastly crime,” said John Murphy, a former longtime Rockland County legislator whose children attended school with Bohovesky at Pearl River High School.
“This was an appalling, animalistic act,” said Murphy, who founded a non-profit group called, “Petition for Paula,” more than a decade ago. Every two years, the charity collects thousands of signatures to present to the parole board

What will it take for New York to get rid of Cuomo and DiBlasio/Warren Whilhelm????
Cuomo sees them as votes.
and the govt workers....not a shred of decency in many of them...
Saw some Italian in there :)
Paesano?
They are both garbage.
Deblahblahblah is going insane left to grab leftist vote of the US populace because in his insane mind he has a chance at the presidency.
He’s a narcissist and a freak and he may be the obama of NYC.
obama led to Trump and we will see what this buffoon leads to.
its not the 90s anymore and illegals aren’t gonna vote to stop their own crimes (of course they vote) so I don’t know.
But once the first child gets killed by someone who was released by parole board or by deblah emptying the cells, we shall see which way the wind blows...
“Eastern Promises” - since the Italians are no longer key. Morte Alla Francia Italia Anelia! (Italian for ‘Death To the French Is Italy’s Cry’)
I know from my ancestors, the Italians like to issue curses to their enemies, but combat_boots, your screen name does not square with your knowledge of the language...…..
Quite alarming.
The victim is dead and cannot benefit the state in any way (taxes and votes)
From the late great Bob Grant, he would address Mario Cuomo as such: “Mario! azen ta me, tu es provenos SFACCIM!” Grant was influential in ending Cuomo Sr’s reign of terror in 1994, and the Dem sycophants accused him of being an anti Italian bigot, even though Grant himself was Italian. Then as now, libs were always unhinged.

I laughed when I saw that, they’ll each take themselves down
All of my blood ancestry is Italian as was my father and pop hated dad’s guts and I hate son’s guts.
Were/Are WE anti Italian? :)
Saying things in Italian is anti Italian?
Not to the pretty big number here on Staten Island who still speak it.
No, they are both just garbage. It’s got Nothing to do with their ethnicity.
Rudy was great. Scalia was great. Alito is great.
Pelosi sucks. deblasio (on mom’s side) sucks.
I vote conservative. If they end up being Italian, its a little bonus :)
well, I’m getting old and have travelled a lot. You meet people and take their measure but quick.
Neutron bomb (the people go, the buildings stay) four of the five boroughs that overwhelm the voter base of the rest of the state. < /sarc >
The Cuomos never met a killer they didn’t like. La Familia, n’est pas?
Cuomo might believe that child rape and murder are horrible but he cannot, in good conscience, impose his morality on others.
Isn’t that the standard Cuomo cop-out for coddling child murderers?
And the POS politician won’t allow a woman to own a gun so she can defend herself from a criminal the POS politician had released from prison.
>> Morte Alla Francia Italia Anelia! <<
Glad you translated that. I thought you were complaining about Pope Francis coddling the Muslims. ;-)
I’ve been reading a lot about Washington recently and he was a big supporter of public executions, both to punish and humiliate the criminals but also to teach a lesson.
I wish we would bring it back for these type of scuzzbags
Someone needs to plant a hooker in Cuomo’s hotel room so the SOB steps down Spitzer style. His old man was definitely the worst governor New York State ever had. Could not stand listening to the smug sanctimonious fool who thought he was running for Pope very 4 years and whose sole mindless solution to every problem was to raise taxes.
