NY’s worst killers including ‘Son of Sam’ and John Lennon’s assassin could soon be freed under rising charges.

Some of history’s most notorious killers, including John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman and “Son of Sam” serial killer David Berkowitz, could soon be freed if Albany passes two amnesty bills, critics warn.

The Senior Parole bill would allow violent criminals to avoid their minimum sentences, regardless of the seriousness of their crimes, and be granted an early parole hearing after they turn 55 and serve 15 years of their sentences.

The second leftist measure, the Fair Parole and Fair Time bill, would require state parole boards to release inmates regardless of the severity of their crimes unless they are a “current” danger to society.

Both bills could lead to the release of brutal killers – even if they were sentenced to life in prison.

“Think of some of the most brutal and remarkable people … in prison today, they will undoubtedly be released within the next two years if these bills are signed into law,” a police source said.

The main sponsors of the senior bill are Sen. Cordell Cleare (D-Manhattan) of Harlem and Assemblywoman Maritza Davilla (D-Brooklyn).

Under the average, juvenile offenders are subject to community supervision as if they had served their full sentence. If they are denied parole, they must be notified in writing of the “factors and reasons for denial” — and automatically get a new chance at parole after two years.

Every two years, the families of the victims were dragged back to the parole board to fight for the release of their loved one’s killer.

The lead sponsors of the Fair Parole and Fixed Term bill are Sen. Julia Salazar (D-Brooklyn) and Assemblyman David Weprin (D-Queens).

The law makes it very easy for jailbirds to be released as long as they are exemplary prisoners – no matter how heinous their crime.

The People’s Campaign for Parole Justice, which advocates for both laws, says Salazar and Weprin’s legislation “will provide meaningful parole review.”

Olivia Murphy, a violent crime survivor and policy and communications associate for Release Aging People in Prison, defended both laws, saying inmates who “have taken responsibility for their crimes and done the hard work to change their thinking and behavior” should be released.

“The evidence is clear that forcing fully rehabilitated adults to spend their final years in prison costs a lot of money and does not benefit public safety,” said Murphy, whose advocacy campaign is funded by billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and other left-wing groups.

“They have the lowest reoffending rates and the highest incarceration costs.”

Raphael Mangual, executive director at the Manhattan Institute, believes both measures are gaining ground in Albany and could pass quickly this year.

“I think it’s really dangerous, especially given the recent drop in crime in New York City,” he said. “I think that would have led to a gap where people might have been more patient five years ago when they were doing this kind of testing.”

He continued: “It doesn’t matter how well a person behaves in prison, you should have behaved well before you arrived.”

“You hear people who will say with great confidence, including lawyers, that the chances of a person re-offending are non-existent in old age,” he said. “No, not really. Most federal prisoners who are released will reoffend.”

The siblings of one murder victim found it unbelievable that their brother’s mentally disturbed killer could be released after serving only 15 years of a 25-year-to-life sentence.

“My brother was brutally tortured to death throughout the night,” said Michael Pravia, the brother of 19-year-old Pace University student Kevin Pravia, who was killed in 2008.

“They’re going to have blood on their hands,” Pravia said of lawmakers passing the bills.

Her brother’s killer, homeless Jeromie Cancel, is in the Auburn Correctional Facility.

“He was proud of his crime,” said Pravia, whose brother lived near Union Square when he was strangled by a power line after inviting Councilor to his home.

Cancel smiled and laughed at his sentence in 2010, infuriating the brother of the deceased. “I’ll kill you, mother f—er!” Pravia scolded him in Manhattan Criminal Court.

“Not a single one of me thinks that he has recovered or has the ability to be rehabilitated,” said Pravia, 34, on Thursday. “I think he’s a real sociopath. He brags he’ll do it again.”

If the Fair and Timely bill passes, the Councilor may be released if he has a clean prison record, said a police source.

It is not clear that Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is running for re-election and needs a liberal NYC to support her, can she veto two amnesty bills.

Hochul’s attorney declined to elaborate on where Hochul stands on both bills but said “the governor is committed to ensuring the safety of New Yorkers and will review any bill that passes both houses of the Legislature.”

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman said he strongly opposes the bills and accused Hochul of calling for the release of murderers.

“Kathy Hochul has accelerated the release of violent criminals – even those who have killed police officers – and will give ‘get out of jail free’ cards to even more dangerous criminals,” Nassau County Sheriff’s Office said. “The Hochul pro-criminal era ends the day I take office.”

Another murderer who may be freed is police killer David McClary, who was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for killing NYPD officer Edward Byrne as he sat in his car guarding the home of a witness in a Queens drug case in 1988.

Howard “Pappy” Mason, a New York City drug kingpin, was convicted of ordering McClary to kill the young police officer.

McClary, who was sentenced to 25 years in prison for pulling the trigger, is 60 years old and serving time at the Wende Correctional Facility in Erie County.

McClary has been denied parole eight times since becoming eligible in 2013, forcing the victim’s family to repeatedly fight to keep him in prison.

His release is opposed by the Armed Police Union, which has been fighting the release of 43 officers since 2017 when parole guidelines were changed to place more emphasis on the prisoner’s “progress” rather than the heinousness of his crime.

PBA President Patrick Hendry said, “Passing on any of these costs would be cruel and despicable to the families of our fallen heroes.

“No age and no formula can absolve murderers of their heinous crimes or give them the right to return to society,” Hendry said. “We will fight tooth and nail along with the families of our slain policemen to make sure [these two bills] do not be the law.”
