Petition to Deny Parole for Brian M.

McCarthy

Petition summary and On September 1, 1986, Katherine Hawelka, a 19 year old college sophomore died after a brutal attack on
background the campus of Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY at the hands of Brian M. McCarthy. He viciously raped
and strangled her, beating her so severely that she was unrecognizable due to the head and face trauma
she sustained. She never regained consciousness after his heinous attack. Brian McCarthy had just been
released on parole three months prior to this attack.

Action petitioned for We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who ask the New York Department of Corrections Parole Board
deny the parole/release of Convicted Murderer Brian M. McCarthy during his upcoming parole hearings in
April 2009, as well as any upcoming hearings in the future. The heinous nature of the murder of Katherine
Hawelka, as well as the fact that he had recently been paroled and was using drugs and alcohol at the time
of the attack, should preclude any consideration of parole.

Completed petition will be mailed to:

New York State Board of Parole
97 Central Avenue
Albany, NY 12206
