(Kathy Boudin, Weather Underground & Brinks robber) Former radical now university lecturer

A 1980s-era radical who spent 22 years in prison for a violent armed robbery now teaches at two prestigious universities in New York City, officials say.

Kathy Boudin was a member of the Weather Underground when she acted as the getaway driver for an armed robbery in October 1980 in New York state in which two police officers and a Brinks guard were killed, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

Boudin, now 69, was paroled in 2003 and this year was named the Sheinberg Scholar-in-Residence at NYU Law School.

She teaches about issues facing convicts and their families after someone is released from prison. Last month, Boudin presented a lecture there on "the politics of parole and re-entry."

UPI is the one non-nutty source I could find that reported this story. More about her from wikipedia; she was the getaway driver in the 1981 Brinks robbery and pled guilty to felony murder and robbery. Since being imprisoned, she's been involved in prison rehab programs and been published in journals. Her son Chesa Boudin is a lawyer who once clerked for a federal judge.
