A split New Jersey Supreme Court granted parole Tuesday to a former militant convicted in the 1973 death of a New Jersey state trooper, in a case that has resonated for decades and been a thorny issue in U.S.-Cuba relations.

Sundiata Acoli is in his mid-80s, and several parole bids were previously rejected. His attorneys argued he's been a model prisoner for nearly three decades and has counseled other inmates.

The state parole board contended Acoli is still a risk to commit future crimes and hasn’t taken full responsibility for Trooper Werner Foerster’s death.

Acoli's more-famous co-defendant, Joanne Chesimard, was convicted and sentenced to a life term but escaped from a New Jersey prison in 1979. Now known as Assata Shakur, she was given asylum in Cuba by then-President Fidel Castro and remains a fugitive.
