MUSKEGON, Mich. — A man who killed a Michigan school library clerk decades ago when he was a teenager won't be getting a parole hearing.
Muskegon County Circuit Judge James Graves Jr. refused to give his blessing, which means the Michigan parole board must keep the case on the shelf for another five years.
In 1974, Timothy Spytma and another 15-year-old were high on drugs when they broke into Phyllis Doctor's home in Laketon Township. She was sexually assaulted and killed.
The Muskegon Chronicle says Sunday the judge opposes parole because the crime was extremely offensive.
Michael Saxton was released from prison in 1986. Unlike Spytma, he didn't get a life sentence.
