Liberal New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Commutes Sentence of Judith Clark, Driver in Deadly Brink's Robbery

NYTimes.com:

Judith Clark, who drove a getaway car in the infamous 1981 robbery of a Brink’s armored car in Rockland County, N.Y., that left a guard and two police officers dead, went into prison defiant, with seemingly little chance of getting out. The judge who sentenced her saw her as beyond rehabilitation, giving her a minimum of 75 years in prison and all but ensuring she would die there. 

But Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, citing what he called Ms. Clark’s long sentence and “exceptional strides in self-development” commuted her sentence on Friday. 

Mr. Cuomo’s action does not undo Ms. Clark’s conviction on second-degree murder and robbery charges, but it reduces her sentence to 35 years to life and makes her eligible for parole in 2017. 

If Ms. Clark is freed, it would be in recognition of her evolution from radical to model prisoner, and serve as a coda to a notorious case that was among the last gasps of violent left-wing extremism seen in the 1960s and 1970s.

I'm actually surprised the Godless Left and the liberal media doesn't mention Cuomo as a potential candidate to run for POTUS in 2020. I mean, Cuomo seems to meet all the checkpoints for a Democrat/Liberal stalwart and he's younger that say a Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, the names we mostly see talked about. Indeed, he's pretty much an Italian version of Barack Obama with a bit of a center bent. Unless he doesn't want to run for POTUS, I don't get why the Left wouldn't push him more.
