## Resource

Ronald Benson, a convicted murderer locked up since the late 70s for brutally killing 20-year-old Richard Carr—stabbing him multiple times and mutilating his body—just got another parole denial. The state Parole Board voted 5-1 to keep him behind bars, citing ongoing public safety risks, his history of sexual violence, and concerns over his judgment, including a decades-long relationship with another sex offender. After 46 years in prison, Benson’s request was again rejected, with officials noting his mental health struggles and urging continued therapy. He’ll remain at MCI-Shirley, serving his life sentence.
