2:18 The state is considering early release for a Hartford man convicted of killing his cousin in 1994. Attorneys for Clyde Meikle, who is serving 50 years for murdering Clifford Walker with a shotgun, have recommended he get out in 2022 after serving 28 years. The potential release has generated strong feelings from both state officials as well as the victim’s family. There were several starts and stops during Meikle’s speech in a Dec. 18 sentence modification hearing that was conducted virtually. Through tears, he said he’s as guilty now as he was when he killed Walker. “The love between my family is still there but my actions makes it unspeakable,” Meikle said.
