   The person before the parole panel in June 2019 was tall and   
   slim, in far better shape than 81 years of life might have   
   suggested. Mild and polite, the supplicant seemed nothing like   
   the murderer who had spent decades in prison, first for shooting   
   a girlfriend dead in 1963, and then for stabbing another in   
   1985, stuffing her corpse into a bag and leaving it in Central   
   Park.   
      
   “I’m no longer that person,” the inmate told the parole board   
   commissioners. Despite misgivings, they would rule in favor of   
   release.   
      
   Two and a half years after leaving Cayuga Correctional Facility,   
   Marceline Harvey was accused again, charged with killing Susan   
   Leyden, 68. Parts of Ms. Leyden’s body were found in March   
   inside a shopping cart in East New York, stuffed in a bag. In   
   Ms. Harvey’s apartment, investigators found a bloody mop, a tub   
   full of towels and a box for an electric saw.   
      
   For seven decades leading up to her latest arrest, Ms. Harvey   
   navigated New York’s intricate criminal justice bureaucracy: the   
   country’s largest police apparatus, the state’s overlapping   
   welfare agencies, its prisons and the officials charged with   
   deciding who remains in them. She confronted the system in some   
   moments, manipulated it in others. Behind her was a trail of   
   crimes so grisly that for decades, parole officials refused to   
   let her out.   
      
   Now Ms. Harvey has pleaded not guilty to murder. Ms. Harvey’s   
   lawyer at the Brooklyn Public Defenders’ office declined to   
   comment on her case. Ms. Harvey, who is being held at Rikers,   
   could not be reached for comment; she declined an interview   
   request.   
      
   Decades worth of police documents and court records detail the   
   life of Ms. Harvey, a transgender woman who transitioned at some   
   point after her release from prison. Central to her tale are   
   more than three decades of parole board minutes obtained through   
   the state’s Freedom of Information Law. In them, she insists   
   that authorities exaggerated evidence, changes stories about   
   crimes she admitted and veers between contrition and blaming   
   those she killed.   
      
   The records include several examples of her harassing or   
   attacking women throughout her life. She was accused of   
   attempted rape at 14; the victim was an 8-year-old girl. Ms.   
   Harvey, who by her own account struggled with her mental health,   
   said she had to choke down rage when women challenged her   
   manliness before she transitioned — making fun of her soft   
   voice, for example.   
      
   A homeless shelter worker and people close to Ms. Leyden   
   questioned whether, despite her gender identity, Ms. Harvey   
   should have been placed in a homeless shelter for women, given   
   her history of attacking and murdering them. Speaking from   
   Rikers to The New York Post, Ms. Harvey referred to herself as   
   having two personas: one, a violent male named Harvey Marcelin —   
   the name she used for most of her life and is included in court   
   records — and the other, a soft-spoken woman named Marceline   
   Harvey.   
      
   But transgender people are far more likely to become victims of   
   violence, not perpetrators, and data from the National Center   
   for Transgender Equality suggests more than half of transgender   
   people who stay in shelters encounter harassment.   
      
   And the crucial question surrounding Ms. Harvey’s case is less   
   complicated: How was someone who had killed twice before allowed   
   the chance to kill again?   
      
   “Anger doesn’t dissolve at 84,” said Dr. Katherine Ramsland, a   
   professor of forensic psychology at DeSales University in   
   Pennsylvania. “It wouldn’t surprise me that a person who killed   
   earlier — even 50, 60 years earlier — out of anger, would feel   
   the same compulsion.”   
      
   Even so, a spokesman for the New York Department of Corrections   
   and Community Supervision said Ms. Harvey met the criteria for
