Stupid waste of time but it's front page fare:
"Parole board in N.H. frees triggerman in Pamela Smart case" by Sarah Schweitzer, Globe Staff March 12, 2015
The triggerman in New Hampshire’s sensational Pamela Smart murder case was granted parole Thursday, his 41st birthday, 25 years after the trial unfolded on a world stage, riveting television viewers with its details of sex, violence, and a teacher baiting her young lover.
William Flynn was just 16 in May 1990 when he shot and killed Smart’s husband, Gregory, at their Derry, N.H., condo. Flynn later told police that he had been having an affair with Pamela Smart, his teacher, and that she had persuaded him to murder her husband.
No Cinderella she, and it was a rather sunny Monday, too (as opposed to the Grey we have been getting).
Flynn and three other boys involved in the murder testified against Smart, who was sentenced to life in prison for being an accomplice to first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and witness tampering.
Flynn pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 28 years to life in prison.
Speaking by phone from prison in Maine, Flynn told a New Hampshire parole board, “I will always feel terrible for what happened 25 years ago.”
And now he's out like Flynn.
