But I played no role in taking his life or participating in taking his life,\u201d inmate Perry Bellamy claimed during the Aug. 18 Parole Board hearing at Great Meadow Correctional prison that preceded his Sept. 30 release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not the man that was involved. I\u2019m not the man that did the crime,\u201d added Bellamy, 59, who vowed to be a \u201cbetter man\u201d upon his release.<\/p>\n<p>The murder accomplice\u2019s freedom has outraged parole officers who worked with Rooney as well as the union that represents them.<\/p>\n<p>Bellamy\u2019s release is just the latest example of the Gov. Andrew Cuomo-appointed Parole Board letting loose convicted killers.<\/p>\n<p>Others sprung include cop killer Herman Bell; wacko Bruce Haims, who bludgeoned a young woman to death with a club; and Sam Ayala \u2014 who raped and murdered two young moms with their horrified young children within earshot during a Westchester County home invasion.<\/p>\n<p>Bellamy \u2014 deemed an associate of infamous drug lord Lorenzo \u201cFat Cat\u201d Nichols \u2014 was convicted of luring Rooney to meet him near Baisley Pond Park in South Jamaica by claiming to have information about one of his cases in exchange for $5,000 in blood money.<\/p>\n<p>There, a hit squad acting on Nichols\u2019 orders pulled up alongside Rooney\u2019s car and opened fire, killing him with five shots.<\/p>\n<p>Bellamy was sentenced to 15 years to life after being convicted of second-degree murder and gun possession.<\/p>\n<p>But rather than show contrition, Bellamy spent much of his parole hearing claiming he spent 34 years in prison for a murder he didn\u2019t commit.<\/p>\n<p>During the hearing conducted by Parole Board commissioners Otis Cruse and Michael Corley, Bellamy denied he was a member of Lorenzo\u2019s drug crew \u2014 explaining they would have never let him live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way in the world that people can label you as a snitch but yet use you to be part of this and then let you live. So it didn\u2019t happen,\u201d Bellamy, 59, said during his hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Former Parole Board Chairman Bob Dennison, who met Bellamy in prison about his case a few years ago, believes the inmate\u2019s claim that\u00a0 he wasn\u2019t an accomplice in Officer Rooney\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n<p>He said Bellamy took the fall for being the set-up man because he felt he would be safer in prison than out on the streets and didn\u2019t expect to do much time.<\/p>\n<p>The US Attorney\u2019s office wrote a letter indicating Bellamy wasn\u2019t involved in the murder based on interviews with drug dealers it prosecuted, he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe brought 30-something years on himself. He lied,\u201d Dennison said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBellamy wanted to get off the streets. They killed his father.\u201d Dennison said of Lorenzo\u2019s drug crew assassinating Bellamy\u2019s father in his barber shop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBellamy thought they would kill him because they thought he was a rat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Cruse and Corley, who decided Bellamy\u2019s case, dismissed his innocence claims \u2014 but cut him loose anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour release should in no way disregard the decision of the court, or be interpreted as mitigating nor excusing the serious nature of your actions which contributed to the senseless loss of life. \u2026 Additionally, it does not minimize the awful pain and suffering caused upon the victim\u2019s family and society,\u201d the decision said.<\/p>\n<p>During the hearing, Cruse chastised Bellamy for not earning a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Education Diploma during his decades in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Bellamy moved to North Carolina following his release, which means a New York parole officer won\u2019t have to supervise someone convicted of killing one of their own.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/10\/18\/parole-board-releases-convict-who-set-up-parole-officers-murder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Parole Board releases convict who set up parole officer&#8217;s murder&#8221; The felon convicted for setting up the 1985 murder of state parole officer Brian Rooney has been released on parole\u00a0\u2014 after a hearing in which the convict defiantly denied committing the crime, according to a transcript obtained by The Post. \u201cI had absolutely nothing whatsoever&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":92240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/10\/brian-rooney.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=1200","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[70897],"tags":[76229,4998,70229,76290],"class_list":["post-92239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-10-18-20","tag-crime","tag-murder","tag-parole-officers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92239","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92239"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92239\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92240"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92239"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92239"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92239"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
