Supreme Court Upholds Veiovis Murder Conviction

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Supreme Judicial Court upheld the conviction of 37-year-old Caius Veiovis for murder and kidnapping.

 

Veiovis was one of three men convicted in the murder of David Glasser, Edward Frampton, and Robert Chadwell in 2011. Veiovis had appealed his consecutive life sentences on three counts of murder in the first degree, three counts of kidnapping, and three counts of intimidation of a witness or other person. He was given a life sentence without parole on the murder charges and concurrent eight to 10 years on the other charges.

 

On Wednesday, the court upheld the conviction.

 

"We are pleased with the decision and happy for the family and friends of David Glasser, Edward Frampton and Robert Chadwell. We had always been confident that Caius Veiovis was justly convicted, on significant evidence that was fairly presented, and that the jurors were correct in their verdicts," District Attorney David Capeless said.

 

"Much praise goes to the many investigators from across the County who worked ceaselessly to develop the complicated web of circumstantial evidence that was necessary to bring Veiovis to final justice. The citizens of Berkshire County should be both proud and reassured by their dedication, professionalism, and commitment."
