NEWPORT CITY, Vt. (AP) - The Vermont Supreme Court has upheld a convicted murderer’s sentence of 20 years to life in connection to a May 2015 shooting.
The court upheld the sentencing of 55-year-old Jeffrey Ray, of Brownington, on Friday in connection with the shooting death of his ex-wife’s husband, Rick Vreeland.
Ray pleaded guilty to the charge of second-degree murder in January 2018 after police said he was highly intoxicated when he shot and killed Vreeland in the driveway of his daughter’s home.
