A Vermont man who was 17 when he and a friend killed two married Dartmouth College professors 25 years ago is seeking a reduced prison sentence. According to reporting, he is currently serving a life sentence and is asking the court to set a minimum term of about 30 to 40 years rather than requiring him to remain incarcerated for the rest of his life. The case dates to the time of the killings involving the Dartmouth professors, with the defendant acting as a teenager. The request is part of a legal effort to modify his punishment after decades in custody. The available accounts describe the same core facts: the defendant was 17 at the time of the murders, the victims were two married Dartmouth faculty members, the incident occurred roughly a quarter-century ago, and the defendant now seeks to reduce the length of time he must serve before becoming eligible for release. The sources do not indicate the specific court that will hear the request or provide details of the prosecution’s position in the materials provided.
