After more than two dozen years in prison, William Allen will get a chance to formally ask the state to commute his life in prison sentence.
The Massachusetts parole board has agreed to hold a hearing on Allen s commutation petition. It will be the second clemency hearing before the board since Gov. Charlie Baker took office in 2015.
A hearing date has not been set.
