Rendell Calls For Review Of Cop Killer's Parole

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) ― Gov. Ed Rendell says his administration is reviewing a state board's decision to parole a prison inmate who shot and killed a Philadelphia police officer on Tuesday.

Rendell says the review will determine whether the state parole board exercised correct judgment when it released 27-year-old Daniel Giddings last month.

Giddings was sent to a halfway house in Philadelphia after serving 10 of the maximum 12 years of his sentence for robbery and assault. He had run away from the halfway house and was wanted for assaulting other police officers when he shot and killed Officer Patrick McDonald during a traffic stop.

Rendell noted that Giddings would have been released in two years even if he hadn't been paroled.
