RE: Solomon Gideon DIN #79A4202

On Saturday, June 10, 1978, New York City Police Officer William McNamara was on routine uniformed foot patrol on a busy street in Harlem, when he was attacked by a drug-crazed perpetrator named Solomon Gideon. Gideon intentionally distracted Officer McNamara by asking the time, and as Bill raised his arm to look at his watch, Gideon grabbed the 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, with the intent of trying to kill this Police Officer.

Gideon received only 25 years to life for his vicious and senseless crime, but McNamara received a LIFE SENTENCE of pain and suffering confined to a wheelchair. Only 24 years old at the time of the attack, P.O. McNamara’s promising police career was tragically ended. He has spent a lifetime confined to a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down. Officer McNamara has never been able to run and play with his daughter or have a normal life and he continues to suffer health complications from the severity of the attack.

Now this attempted killer, Solomon Gideon, DIN # 79A4202, is scheduled for parole hearing. He has had numerous infractions and incidents during his incarceration, and has never shown any sign of remorse for his crime to Police Officer McNamara.

I strongly implore the Governor, Attorney General, and the Division of Parole Division deny the parole petition of this remorseless, vicious criminal.

As far as I am concerned, Gideon lost his right to freedom the day he decided to try to kill a Police Officer with a hail of deadly bullets and caused a lifetime of suffering to P.O. McNamara. 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

Philip J. Archdeacon

Men make decisions, McNamara's was to help society and bring home a paycheck for his family.
Gideon's was to kill this officer with his own gun.
No matter how model of an inmate he is or has become, he made his decision years ago.
Please Deny his parole.
