PITTSFIELD — A 43-year-old Pittsfield man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of his live-in girlfriend.

David Vincent was convicted on Tuesday by a Berkshire Superior Court jury after six days of testimony.

Vincent was charged in the fatal June 2009 beating of 27-year-old Rebecca Moulton in the apartment the couple shared in Pittsfield.


Prosecutors said Vincent stayed with the unconscious woman for several hours after the attack, but never called 911.

Vincent’s lawyer said his client was under the influence of alcohol and drugs and did not intend to kill the woman.
