County Executive Day Blasts Parole Board & Calls for Resignations After Convicted Killer Robert McCain Arrested Again
Statement From County Executive Ed Day
“We fought tooth and nail to keep this egregious killer, Robert McCain, behind bars — where he belonged — for the brutal and unspeakable murder of 16-year-old Paula Bohovesky. The decision by the New York State Parole Board to release him ignored the pleas of our entire community and disregarded the irreversible devastation caused to Paula’s family; turning its back on justice itself.
Now, this monster — as predicted – committed another crime; underscoring how the system failed. The crime McCain stands accused of is on the hands of every Parole Board member who voted to free him.
If any of the individuals responsible for that disgraceful decision remain on the Parole Board, I am again calling on them to immediately resign.
Their actions put the public at risk, and I will never stop fighting for justice — not just for Paula, but for every Rockland resident who expects safety, accountability, and a system that values the lives of victims over the comfort of criminals.”
