New York's oldest inmate, 89, denied parole - To try again in March 2009


ALBANY, N.Y. - The oldest inmate in the New York state prison system was denied parole a week after his 89th birthday. Charles Friedgood was a well-to-do Long Island heart surgeon convicted in 1976 of injecting his ailing wife Sophie with a fatal dose of the painkiller Demerol.
He was arrested at Kennedy International Airport as he was trying to flee the country with more than $450,000 in cash, securities and valuables from his wife's estate to be with his girlfriend in Europe. Full Story - Outdoor Photographer Magazine - Old Gold Cigarettes - Blockbuster - United Kingdom
