Man who killed Dartmouth professors at 17 to get a chance at parole in about 20 years, judge rules
His lawyers say he has matured, shown remorse and had no major infractions since 2012, while seeking a lower term under juvenile-sentencing rulings.
- A New Hampshire judge officially resentenced Robert Tulloch to 45 years to life in prison on Monday, granting him his first potential opportunity for parole in approximately 20 years for his role in the 2001 murders of two married Dartmouth College professors.
- The resentencing hearing was mandated following landmark judicial rulings that struck down mandatory life-without-parole sentences for juvenile offenders, requiring courts to retroactively evaluate Tulloch’s age and rehabilitation progress during his 25 years of incarceration.
- While the victims' daughter remotely attended the hearing to urge the court to impose the maximum possible incarceration, the judge determined that Tulloch will become eligible for parole evaluation in 2046, when he reaches the age of 62—the exact age of one of his victims at the time of the attack.
