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.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
