"Killer freed for statute of limitations"


LYNDHURST, NJ, United States (UPI) -- The family of a New Jersey teen beaten to death with a hammer is furious that the convicted killer will serve no time in prison.

Marc Ferrara was found guilty of aggravated manslaughter this week in the death of 17-year-old Rosie Lorincz.

However, because the crime occurred in 1982 and Ferrara was found guilty of manslaughter, with five-year statute of limitations, he will serve no time in prison, the New York Daily News reported Saturday.

Had Ferrara been convicted of murder, for which there is no statute of limitations, he could have faced life in prison.

"It just doesn`t seem fair," said Andrea Lorincz, the victim`s sister. "He walks free, and we are left without a sister and a daughter, and no justice."
