A man who spent three decades in prison for killing a police officer, not counting the three years he lived in California following an escape, has failed to persuade a federal judge that he was illegally set up to violate parole because authorities were eager to put him back behind bars.
Albert Victory was convicted of the 1968 murder of a New York City police officer. He escaped from Green Haven Correctional Facility in 1978, apparently after bribing guards into allowing him to meet his girlfriend in a hotel, and remained on the lam for three years before his recapture near San Francisco.
