The parole hearing for a 1981 Brinks killer has reportedly been pushed out to late October, scheduled now to occur the same week that the 40th anniversary Brinks memorial service is set to take place in Nyack. That’s according to the Journal News. The now 76 year-old David Gilbert had his 75-years-to-life sentence commuted by former governor Andrew Cuomo in August. Rockland sheriff Lou Falco says Gilbert never should have been given the chance to see the light of day again…
Gilbert was part of the “Weather Underground” group that robbed a Brinks truck at the former Nanuet Mall of $1.6 million. Nyack Police Sergeant Edward O’Grady, officer Waverly “Chipper” Brown, and Brinks guard Peter Paige were all killed in the 1981 incident. The 40th anniversary commemorating the tragedy is scheduled for October 20th.
