Prosecutor son seeks father's release in fatal 1981 Brink's heist
Fox News
Gilbert is among the last surviving members of a botched 1981 armored truck robbery in New York City.
"As long as I can remember, I’ve known that the most likely scenario is that my father is going to die in prison," said Chesa Boudin, sworn in as district attorney last year. Boudin ran a progressive campaign in which he said visiting his parents Kathy Boudin and Gilbert in prison showed him the criminal justice system was broken. Gilbert is among the last surviving people still imprisoned in the bungled 1981 Brink’s robbery north of New York City, often seen as a last gasp of ’60s radicalism. The robbery still stirs emotions, especially among local officials and relatives of the slain men who have watched with exasperation as others convicted in the crime, including Kathy Boudin, walk out of prison.More Related News
