A divided New York state appellate court ruled yesterday that the state cannot be held liable for the carnage wreaked by Oscar Linderberry, who killed his ex-wife and kidnapped, stabbed and raped another woman while parole officers waited one extra day to arrest him for violating parole. The officers had issued a parole violation warrant hours before Linderberry began his rampage, but they decided to execute it the next day to avoid traveling during a snow storm.
