The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision has recommended medical parole for Anthony Marshall, the 89-year-old son of Brooke Astor who is serving a one- to three-year prison sentence for stealing millions of dollars from his mother's estate.
The state parole board will hold a hearing on whether to grant Marshall medical parole during the week of Aug. 19, according to DOC spokesman Thomas Mailey. The parole board's decision will be final, with no further involvement by the judge who presided over Marshall's case, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice A. Kirk Bartley.
