The NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision announced that convicted killer Edward Kindt will be released after he was accused of violating his parole.
In a statement, DOCCS said that Administrative Law Judge Marasa rendered the decision of a seven day sentence for Kindt. He has been in custody since before his final hearing on August 15 and his seven-day sentence has been satisfied. He will be released back to Dutchess County, placed back on GPS monitoring and closely supervised.
Kindt served more than 23 years in prison for the rape and murder of Penny Brown in Salamanca on Mother’s Day in 1999.
He was denied parole several times, but in 2023 his request was granted by the New York State Board of Parole . He became a free man at the age of 39, the same age Brown was when she was killed.
In July, Kindt was accused of violating his parole by escaping the supervised transitional housing he was placed in, in Dutchess County and went back to Salamanca where he is banned.
