With zero coronavirus cases now reported in Massachusetts prisons, the state s highest court is reviewing whether the virus should still be considered when a prisoner requests release.
The SJC heard arguments Wednesday in a case that asks whether a judge should take into account if a prisoner has had COVID-19 or has been vaccinated.
The case involves 59-year-old William McDermott, who is seeking a stay of his sentence. He s been in prison since his 1982 conviction on murder charges.
Other court rulings suggest that because McDermott had COVID, and has been vaccinated, judges do not have to consider the virus in reviewing requests for a stay of sentence. But McDermott s attorney Hayne Barnwell said there is still uncertainty about the long term benefits of the vaccine and the risks to clients like hers who have underlying health issues.
‘It’s gut-wrenching’: Edgar Bowser, man who killed Shrewsbury Police Officer James Lonchiadis in 1975, granted medical parole
Updated Feb 04, 2021;
In 1975, Edgar Bowser, armed with a .32 caliber handgun, shot and killed 28-year-old Shrewsbury Police Officer James Lonchiadis. Forty-six years later, Bowser has been granted medical parole.
The 62-year-old inmate has spent much of the past five decades behind bars but is now being granted medical parole after a decision was issued by Massachusetts Department of Correction Commissioner Carol Mici, sources told MassLive.
Bowser, an inmate at Old Colony Correctional Center in Bridgewater, has been diagnosed with metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a rare cancer that originates in the upper part of the throat. The cancer has spread to his bones, and he remains unresponsive, which is why he was granted medical parole in the first place, according to Bowser’s Somerville-based attorney, Rebecca Rose.
