Former Black Panther who killed NJ cop nearly 50 years ago paroled by state court
NY Post ^ | 5/11/22 | Craig McCarthy

A former Black Panther who was convicted of murdering a New Jersey State trooper 49 years ago will soon be sprung on parole.

New Jersey Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled 3-2 to allow 85-year-old Sundiata Acoli, the Black Liberation Army activist who killed Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973, to go free.

Acoli had appeared before the parole board eight times since 1993 — when he became eligible for parole on his lifetime prison sentence.

“In light of Acoli’s verbal renunciation of violence as an acceptable way to achieve social change; more than two decades infraction-free in the federal prison system; the multitude of programs and counseling sessions he completed; his honor status as an inmate; his acquisition of vocational skills; and his advanced age, it is difficult to imagine what else might have persuaded the board that Acoli did not present a substantial likelihood to reoffend,” wrote Justice Barry Albin in the ruling.

He added there was no “substantial credible evidence” that Acoli posed a risk to the public as the parole board had previously ruled in denying his release.

SF DA Chesa Boudin is named for Joanne Chesimard. That explains a lot. Another cop killer turned model prisoner who faked it till he made it. Even Gov Murphy is at least pretending to be outraged at the judge's decision.

For the state Supreme Court to intervene to release this prisoner shows you how disgustingly radical they are.

Cheaper to let him go. At his age no one will listen to his issues.

this shouldn’t surprise anyone, the Media-Dem Party see criminals as the footsoldiers in their war to destroy the US, those in prison are seen as martyrs to that cause.

Just chuck him down the stairs on the way out and I’d be happy.

“Cheaper to let him go”

...I highly doubt that’s the reason.

If true justice prevailed, he would have been executed 50 years ago.

Old, bad health, it is cheaper to let him go.

*“Cheaper to let him go”...I highly doubt that’s the reason.* Society proved it’s point.

It’s cheaper to incarcerate him. BLM will always hold us over a barrel with their stats on their people being the ones executed.

After 50 years in prison he has paid for his crime. It would have been more merciful to execute him swiftly than to have him warehoused in a box for 50 years.

Based on per capita murder rates and execution rates, whites are more likely to be executed for homicide.

Mr. Squire has NOTHING to lose. Sitting around his daughter’s apartment all day will get mighty tiresome.

At 86, if his demonstrated demented mind tells him “let’s go out with a bang”...............and he goes out and kills another cop, the persons responsible for letting him out should be held to account.

Maybe you, but they won’t hold me over a barrel. Someone uses that line with me, I’ll be pointing out who commits the crimes and that they need to fix their culture.
