Convicted murderer and leftwing
journalist Adriano Sofri on Tuesday declined to take up a
position as consultant for a new prison reform advisory board
amid protests from guards' unions and the widow of the police
commissioner whose death he ordered. Sofri has decided to turn
down the job "in order to preserve the Estates General (on jail
reform) from the deforming weight of improper readings," sources
said. The leftwing intellectual served 22 years in jail for the
1972 murder of Luigi Calabresi.
