NEW JERSEY LAWMAKERS URGE PRESIDENT OBAMA TO GET CONVICTED COP KILLER FROM CUBA - New York Post
New Jersey lawmakers plan to introduce a bipartisan resolution calling for President Obama and Congress to urge Cuba to return a woman convicted of killing a state trooper 36 years ago.
Sens. Sean Kean (R-Wall) and Fred Madden (D-Turnersville) say Obama's interest in easing sanctions against Cuba provides an ideal opportunity to bring back Joanne Chesimard.
The Black Liberation Army member was convicted of shooting Trooper Werner Foerster as he lay on the ground in 1973. She escaped prison in 1979 and changed her name to Assata Shakur.
