 Canton teen found guilty of beating classmate to death


The Boston Globe-Mar 29, 2016   What year is this?  The news feed has March 29, 2016, yet High Beam has the incident as 1986, which would make the guilty person around 35, not 15. (He's actually 43 now)   Strange...

Duh!  The Boston Globe didn't spell it out that he is up for parole...go figure

Man Spending Life In Prison For Killing Classmate Up For Parole

 


NATICK (CBS) — The Massachusetts Parole Board is considering whether to release a Canton man who beat someone to death with a baseball bat when he was a teenager.  Rod Matthews is now 43-years-old, but they were both 14 when he killed Shaun Ouillette in 1986.
He cried as he told the parole board he was a different person 30 years ago, a kid trying to prove something to his friends.
“I wanted to tell them, as sick as it sounds, I had to prove I could murder him,” Matthews said.

DEDHAM - Fifteen-year-old Rod Matthews was found guilty of second-degree murder yesterday in the 1986 baseball bat slaying of his high school classmate Shaun Ouillette. He was sentenced to life in prison.

The thin, red-haired Canton resident, who according to a friend killed Ouillette "for the heck of it," began crying softly after the verdict was delivered by the jury foreman. As he was led out of the courtroom, he glanced once at his parents.
Matthews, who was tried as an adult because of the viciousness of the crime, had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to a charge of first-degree murder
