‘Son of Sam’ killer David Berkowitz denied parole in 12th attempt
NY Post
Infamous “Son of Sam” serial killer David Berkowitz was denied parole for the 12th time last week, according to online records.
Berkowitz, 70, has been in prison since he was arrested on Aug. 10, 1977 for the senseless killings of six people during his reign of terror in New York City between 1976 and 1977.
He was given multiple life sentences and became eligible for parole in 2002 — with parole board hearings every two years since.
A parole board once again decided to keep him behind bars last week, according to the records.
Ahead of the board decision, the convicted killer told The Post that he knew he had zero chance of getting out, but would attend the hearing regardless.
“To not attend a hearing can be viewed as being defiant towards authority, and that’s not me,” Berkowitz said. “Most of all, I attend in order to openly apologize for my past crimes and to express my remorse,” he added.
