CT Senate GOP Lawmakers’ Statement on Denial of Parole for Convict in CT Trooper’s Killing

Sen. Heather Somers, Sen. Paul Cicarella, Sen. Jeff Gordon and Sen. Stephen Harding issued the following statement regarding the DENIAL of parole today for a man convicted in an ambush-style killing of CT State Police trooper Russell Bagshaw in the early 1990s.

“Good!

We joined with law enforcement groups from across America as well as victims of violent crime and their families in urging the Board to object to his potential release.

This individual should spend the rest of his life in prison for this horrific crime.

We will continue to stand with law enforcement, violent crime victims, and victims’ families.”
