When Winona Fletcher was sentenced in 1986, she became the youngest female ever convicted of murder in the state.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A lower court will reconsider the 135-year sentence given to a then-14-year-old girl four decades ago for her role in the shooting deaths of three people in Anchorage.
Fletcher and her then-19-year-old boyfriend, Cordell Boyd, in 1985 killed 69-year-old Tom Faccio, his 70-year-old wife Ann Faccio and her 76-year-old sister, Emilia Elliott. The case drew heavy media attention. Courts have found that juveniles are more reckless, impulsive and take more risks than adults and are unable to extricate themselves from crime-producing settings.
