A Gaston County man convicted of raping an 8-year-old girl more than 50 years ago could soon win his freedom based upon the outcome of a parole hearing.
Robert Turner, who turns 78 in July, was sentenced to life in prison in March 1966 after a Gaston County jury convicted him of first-degree rape and second-degree kidnapping, according to records with the Department of Correction. He received the life sentence on the rape conviction.
In March of this year, the N.C. Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission reported it would consider granting Turner parole.
Turner has tried in the past to win his freedom by arguing he did not have a fair trial.

A bill that would remove the governor from the parole process is on a bumpy path through the Maryland Legislature, as both chambers have different versions of the bill that must be hammered out in just a few days.
SB0202, sponsored by Sen. Delores Kelley, D-Baltimore, has been passed through both the Senate and House chambers.
The original bill that was introduced into the Senate increased from 15 to 20 years the amount of time inmates who were sentenced to life in prison would need to serve before becoming eligible for parole.
