A former member of the Black Liberation Army convicted of killing two New York City police officers nearly 50 years ago has been released from prison on parole after efforts to keep him incarcerated failed.
Herman Bell, 70, was freed from maximum-security Shawangunk Correctional Facility in upstate New York on Friday at approximately 5 p.m. He was initially scheduled to be let out on April 17, but his exit was delayed after the police union appealed the Parole Board’s decision on behalf of the widow of one of the slain cops.
