Conn. Supreme Court rejects appeal in 1997 murder
Criminal Law
The Connecticut Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of one of eight people in the rape and murder of a 13-year-old New Milford girl in 1997.
The state's high court in Hartford ruled unanimously Monday to uphold the conviction of Keith Foster. He was convicted of nine charges, including felony murder, conspiracy to commit murder, first-degree sexual assault and three counts of first-degree kidnapping. He was sentenced in August 2006 to 60 years in prison on a murder charge and 50 years on the other counts.
Maryann Measles was kidnapped on Oct. 19, 1997, while she was waiting in the parking lot for her mother, who was shopping for groceries. She was raped and strangled, and her body was wrapped in a blanket and chains and dumped into the Housatonic River.
