One of the former Black Nationalist activists who shot and killed a New Jersey State Trooper in one of the state’s most infamous homicides was paroled Tuesday.
The New Jersey state Supreme Court granted parole to Sundiata Acoli nearly 50 years after the radical Black Liberation Army activist shot and killed New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster during a traffic stop near New Brunswick. The Court ruled, 3-2, to overrule a parole board decision denying Acoli parole, The New York Times reported.
On May 2, 1973, Sundiata Acoli and fellow members of the Black Liberation Army, James Costan and Joanne Chesimard (also known as Assata Shakur), were driving along the New Jersey Turnpike when they were pulled over by Trooper James Harper. Trooper Foerster, a German immigrant who had been serving as a State Trooper for less than three years, arrived as Harper’s backup.
