PROVIDENCE, R.I. -
A Woonsocket man convicted of a 1999 "thrill killing" is scheduled to be released on parole next month, more than 20 years before his original release date.
WPRI-TV reports Alfred Brissette shaved several years off his sentence for good behavior behind bars. The parole board tells the station that no one objected to granting him parole, including prosecutors.
A spokeswoman for the attorney general's office did not immediately return messages seeking comment. She told WPRI it's up to the parole board to use its best judgment.
