San Francisco’s Democratic district attorney announced Friday that his convicted murderer father received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in a New York prison. "Amazing news," Chesa Boudin tweeted Friday afternoon. "My incarcerated father just got his first vaccine shot! I hope that once I get my vaccine, and the prison reopens for visitors, I will be able to see him again for the first time in over a year." Boudin’s dad, David Gilbert, 76, was convicted of felony murder in connection with the infamous Brinks’ heist in 1981, which left two police officers and a guard dead. His mother, Kathy Boudin, was also convicted and paroled in 2003. Gilbert was sentenced to 75 years to life in prison for his role in the robbery, in which members of the Weather Underground and Black Liberation Army stole $1.6 million from a Brink’s armored truck in upstate New York.

PROSECUTOR SON SEEKS FATHER'S RELEASE IN FATAL 1981 BRINK'S HEIST Gilbert was an unarmed getaway driver and is not eligible for parole until 2056. Boudin appealed to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week asking for clemency for his father, in part because of his vulnerability to the coronavirus. Cuomo’s office said the governor does not comment on active clemency requests. Gilbert’s vaccination comes as millions of Americans ...

Another Cuomo Aide Has Accused Him of Sexual Harassment

Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images A second former aide to Andrew Cuomo has come forward with allegations of sexual harassment against the New York governor, days after another former aide, Lindsey Boylan, alleged Cuomo had repeatedly sexually harassed her and had once kissed her without her consent when she worked for his administration. The allegations come amid a widening political crisis for the governor over his administration’s handling of nursing-home death totals during the pandemic and accounts of Cuomo behaving abusively towards state lawmakers — and have already prompted widespread calls for an independent investigation into the governor’s conduct. The New York Times reported Saturday night that Charlotte Bennett, who worked for the Cuomo administration as an executive assistant and health policy advisor from early 2019 until November of last year, alleges that in a pair of encounters last spring, Cuomo made inappropriate comments to her in an apparent attempt to pursue a sexual relationship: Ms. Bennett, 25, said the most unsettling episode occurred on June 5, when she was alone with Mr. Cuomo in his State Capitol office. In a series of interviews this week, she said the governor had asked her numerous questions about her personal life, including whether she thought age made a difference in romantic relationships, and had said that he was open to relationships with women in their 20s — comments she interpreted as clear overtures to a sexual relationship. She said Cuomo also initiated a uncomfortable conversation about hugging during that same encounter: [Bennett said Cuomo] complained to her about being lonely during the pandemic, mentioning that he “can’t even hug anyone,” before turning the focus to Ms. Bennett. She said that Mr. Cuomo asked her, “Who did I last hug?” Ms. Bennett said she had tried to dodge the question by responding that she missed hugging her parents. “And he was, like, ‘No, I mean like ...
New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy Signs Laws To Set Up Marijuana Marketplace, Loosens Drug Penalties
TRENTON, N.J. (CBS/AP) – Legislation to set up a recreational marijuana marketplace, decriminalize cannabis and loosen penalties for underage possession of the drug and alcohol was signed into law Monday by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, more than three months after voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question to legalize adult use of the drug. The Democrat-led Assembly and Senate passed the last-minute measure Monday to ease penalties on underage possession of both alcohol and marijuana as a way to secure Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy’s signature on legislation they had sent him in December. New Jersey’s broken & indefensible marijuana laws are no more.

This was a historic moment in New Jersey as Murphy signed three bills to legalize recreational marijuana. The move comes after voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question giving adult use of the drug the green light. “I’m not considered a criminal anymore,” Florentino Parra said. It took longer than expected but Murphy signed three bills into law Monday that legalize and decriminalize marijuana in the Garden State, something millions of New Jerseyans voted in favor of back in November. “I think the soonest — whether it’s going to be in early 2022 — the soonest I think New Jersey residents are going to get it is via delivery services someway,” said Chris Goldstein, the regional organizer of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
