SJC lets Berkshire conviction stand in 2011 triple murder case

PITTSFIELD — The verdict holds, for now, in one of the most heinous murder cases in recent Berkshire County history.
The state Supreme Judicial Court declined Tuesday to overturn David T. Chalue’s 2014 conviction for the murders of David Glasser, Edward Frampton and Robert Chadwell.
“We conclude that the verdicts of murder in the first degree are consonant with justice, and we decline to exercise our authority,” the court said, “to order a new trial or direct the entry of verdicts of a lesser degree of guilt.”
The SJC decision on Chalue means that state appeals have been exhausted for all three men convicted in the murders, including Adam Lee Hall and Caius Veiovis. The men took their victims to a remote place in the Berkshires, as Tropical Storm Irene drenched the region Aug. 28, 2011, and killed, beheaded and dismembered them.
