(CNN) — Judy Clark, a former radical activist who has spent nearly 40 years in jail for her role in a 1981 robbery of a Brink's armored truck in suburban New York has been granted parole, according to her attorney.

"We are grateful that the Parole Board affirmed what everyone who has interacted with Judy already knows -- that she is a rehabilitated, remorseful woman who poses no threat to society," said Clark's attorney, Michael Cardozo.

The 69-year-old former radical activist was convicted of murder in the Nyack, New York, robbery that left a security guard and two police officers dead, according to court documents.

Clark participated in the crime with other activists, and described herself as a "single-minded fanatic ... at war with America" and "a blinded revolutionary," according to New York State Department of Corrections records.

Clark was initially sentenced to 75 years to life in prison but New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo commuted her sentence in 2016, opening the possibility for her to be paroled.

The panel granted Clark parole on Wednesday, saying their decision doesn't forgive her for her role in the robbery, according to a copy of the ruling shared with CNN by a source with the state's department of corrections with firsthand knowledge of the board's decision.

The documents indicate that Clark's advanced age, the 38 years she has served in jail, her good institutional record and the numerous actions she has taken through the years played a factor in the decision.

1. CNN screwed up the title of that article ...

She was convicted of the murder of three people, including two police officers, while committing a robbery.

I say no parole EVER. She take her last breath locked in a cell.
