Peggy Rizter also called for Chism to get a “sentence of death,” but admitted that’s not an option under Massachusetts Law.“He is pure evil and pure evil can never be rehabilitated,” she told the court.

SALEM (CBS/AP) — Teenager Philip Chism was sentenced Friday
to serve at least 40 years in prison for the rape and murder of Danvers
High School teacher Colleen Ritzer in 2013.
“The crashing waves of this tragedy will never wane,” Salem Superior Court Judge David Lowy said as he handed down a sentence of 25 years for the murder and 40 years and one day for raping and robbing Ritzer. Those sentence will be served concurrently, at the same time, which means Chism will not be eligible parole for 40 years.
Chism showed no emotion as the sentence was read.
