NYPD POLICE OFFICER RANDOLPH HOLDER - Slain NY cop’s cousin: I’ll pay to execute ‘killer’ Tyrone Howard

Accused cop-killer Tyrone Howard was back before a familiar face Thursday — the very Manhattan judge who blew a chance to take the career criminal off the streets.

In a glaring example of “too little, too late,” Supreme Court Justice Patricia Nuñez didn’t utter a peep about the sweetheart deal she gave the reputed gang member, sentencing him to rehab instead of prison following his guilty plea to a drug charge in May.

The timing of the brief hearing couldn’t have been more poignant, coming less than two days after Howard allegedly shot Police Officer Randolph Holder dead in East Harlem.

Nuñez just noted the ex-con’s lawyer called to say he couldn’t attend the hearing, which was hastily scheduled following Howard’s arrest a day earlier for the shooting of the third-generation cop.
