RE: Solomon Gideon DIN # 79A4202

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

On the bright, Saturday morning of June 10, 1978,New York City Housing Police Officer William McNamara was on routine uniformed foot patrol on a busy street in the 32 Precinct in Harlem, when he was taken by surprise by a drug-crazed perpetrator named Solomon Gideon. High on PCP, Gideon distracted Officer McNamara by asking the time, and as the officer raised his arm to look at his watch, Gideon grabbed the cop's gun from its holster and pumped a string of bullets into the officer. With wounds that punctured his spine and his heart, McNamara lay bleeding on the sidewalk. Gideon continued to savagely beat and pistol-whip the downed officer, fracturing his face and knocking out his teeth.

Gideon then barricaded himself in an apartment, creating a hostage situation. It was not until the NYPD Emergency Services Unit forced their way into the apartment that he was captured.

Gideon received 25 years to life for his brazen and senseless crime, but McNamara received a life sentence of pain and suffering. Only 24 years old at the time of the attack, P.O. McNamara has spent a lifetime confined to a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down. He continues to suffer other health complications from the severity of the attack.Now this attempted cop killer, Solomon Gideon, DIN # 79A4202, is vying for parole.

I, urge the Parole Division of the State of New York to deny the parole petition of this remorseless, irresponsible criminal. As far as I am concerned, Gideon lost his right to freedom the day he decided to surprise a New York City police officer with a hail of deadly bullets. We believe that cop killers and attempted cop killers belong permanently in jail. The State should not reward this criminal with parole simply because he failed in his mission to murder a public servant.

Thank you
