One of four teenagers convicted of helping Pamela Smart kill her husband in 1990 will most likely be released from a New Hampshire prison early next year, a parole board said last week. Smart was 22 when she persuaded her 15-year-old lover to shoot her husband because she feared losing everything in a divorce, a case that inspired the Nicole Kidman movie 'To Die For.' Smart is serving a life sentence without chance of parole. Raymond Fowler, 18 at the time, waited in a car while friend William Flynn shot insurance salesman Gregory Smart in the condominium he shared with his wife. Flynn had been having an affair with Smart, then a 22-year-old employee at the boys' high school. Fowler, now 31, is the first to come up for parole and has a '99 percent chance' of being released early next year after nearly 13 years in prison, board chairman Thomas Winn said. All four boys received reduced sentences in exchange for testifying against Smart; Flynn was sentenced to 28 years to life. Fowler has insisted he believed the boys were going to the condo to burglarize it. He was convicted of burglary and murder conspiracy charges and given two consecutive sentences of 7 1/2 to 15 years. |
