Rethinking life-without-parole sentences Associated Press BOSTON – They were convicted of the same crime: the 2011 killing of a Boston teen as part of a gang feud. But Nyasani Watt – who pulled the trigger – will be able to fight for his release on parole after 15 years because he was only 17 at the time of the killing. Sheldon Mattis, who was just eight months older, was ordered to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
