Palm Sunday Massacre (homicide)
The Palm Sunday Massacre was a 1984 mass-murder in Brooklyn, New York, that resulted in the death of ten people, three women, a teenage girl, and six children. There was one survivor, an infant girl.〔(10 IN BROOKLYN ARE FOUND SLAIN INSIDE A HOUSE - NYTimes.com )〕
All of the victims were shot from close range, most in the head, and were found in relaxed poses sitting in couches and chairs; suggesting that they had been taken by surprise. There were no signs of drugs or robbery at the scene, but the home was owned by one of the victim's husbands; a convicted cocaine dealer.〔(Man Guilty of Manslaughter in Massacre - Los Angeles Times )〕 In 1985, Christopher Thomas was convicted in ten counts of manslaughter, but was cleared of murder charges. The jury had convicted him of intentional murder, but the charges were reduced due to "extreme emotional disturbance". Prosecutors said that the motive was jealousy.〔(Killer In Massacre Convicted - Sun Sentinel )〕〔(Mass Slayings And Toll: Mcdonald'S Case Biggest - New York Times )〕 Thomas was sentenced to from 83 to 250 years, but due to state law was expected to spend no more than 50 years in prison. 〔('Palm Sunday Massacre' Triggerman Could Be Out in 50 Years )〕
The sole survivor, an infant female, was raised by her grandmother. Joanna Jaffe, at the time a "beat cop" and now the highest ranking female officer in the New York Police Department, was assigned to the infant girl, and stayed in contact with her as she grew up. The girl lived with Jaffe starting at age 14. In 2014, after the death of the girl's grandmother, Jaffe adopted her at the age of 31.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/13/nyregion/30-years-after-the-palm-sunday-massacre-christina-rivera-and-joanne-jaffe-tell-their-story.html〕〔(Mother and daughter at last: The decorated NYPD officer pictured with the sole survivor of horrific Palm Sunday Massacre she adopted 30 years later | Mail Online )〕〔(How cop came to adopt massacre survivor nearly 30 years later | New York Post )〕
