Juvenile Killer Seeks Reduced Sentence | Bangor News

A teen killer turned legal milestone: At 17, Robert Tulloch stabbed two Dartmouth professors to death in 2001, earning a life sentence without parole — until the Supreme Court changed the rules. Now, at 43, he’s seeking a reduced sentence of 30–40 years, arguing that his remorse, prison behavior (mostly for hoarding books), and national precedents justify mercy. His case, the last of five in New Hampshire, could reshape juvenile sentencing in the state — even as lawmakers resist change. His friend’s already been released; the state hasn’t yet announced its stance, but the judge has already ruled mandatory life sentences for juveniles violate the state constitution.
