THE RECORD
She has been largely quiet over the decades about the murder of her state trooper husband on the New Jersey Turnpike as his death became entangled in a crime involving a black anti-government movement and an armed prison escape by a woman who remains one of the nation’s most wanted fugitives.
But as one of Trooper Werner Foerster’s killers moved a step closer to freedom this week, his wife agreed on Tuesday to discuss some of their life together. She touched on her husband’s escape from communist East Germany as a young man and his reason for joining the state police after the couple moved to New Jersey and had a son.
“He just wanted to have a better life for us,” said Rosa Foerster, 73, who lives in Florida.
On Monday, a panel of appellate judges overturned a 2010 state Parole Board ruling denying parole for 77-year-old Sundiata Acoli, a member of the Black Liberation Army who was traveling with Joanne Chesimard and another man when they were pulled over for a faulty taillight by police in East Brunswick on May 2, 1973.
