Cop-killer Eddie Matos stays behind bars where he belongs. Though the parole board made the proper decision this time — if you kill a member of law enforcement there should NEVER be an option to be released from prison.

Matos was held by the police the next day. Matos was indicted for second-degree murder and condemned to jail in 1990, while the three accessories were likewise arraigned.
Last month, a two-part parole board was parted on the choice to liberate Matos, yet in this manner, a three-part board came to a choice to keep him in the slammer.
“Hearing the news that the creature who killed my brother was denied parole was an immense help,” she told The Post. “We are generally apprehensive sitting tight for the choice yet this time was extra hard. … I’m thankful to the parole board for settling on the ideal choice,” Dwyer’s sister Maureen Brisette said about the choice.
The group of Dwyer, who have been hanging tight for equity for over thirty years, will discover some comfort in Matos’ dismissal of parole. Furthermore, it fills in as a message to different hoodlums that equity will be finished and that they will be considered liable for their activities.
As per the NY state Revisions and Local area Oversight, Matos will confront the parole board in the future in July 2024.
