The four men convicted of killing a young New York Police Department officer in 1988 have been granted a parole hearing for the week of Nov. 11, reports the Associated Press.
Philip Copeland, Scott Cobb, Todd Scott, and David McClary will be given separate interviews with parole board commissioners at the prisons where they are being held.
The four men were convicted of the Feb. 26, 1988 slaying of Officer Edward Byrne. The four shot Byrne in the head five times, while he sat in his marked patrol car in Queens in exchange for $8,000 from a narcotics trafficker who had been busted by Byrne a day earlier.
