Convicted Killer Released After 50 Years | Grand Rapids News

After nearly 50 years, the man convicted in the 1978 murder of 13-year-old Tammi Pearo has been released from prison. James Muhamet, then 18, was resentenced to 40–60 years after Michigan’s Supreme Court ruled mandatory life sentences for teens were unconstitutional — freeing him after nearly 48 years served. Pearo was abducted, raped, and strangled while biking; her body found eight days later. Muhamet, who served his time without parole, expressed remorse to her family during his hearing. Though no formal reentry support is offered, he’s been given resources to help transition back into society. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
