Jamie Fuller Gets a Chance at Parole

Jamie Fuller’s story is a testament to the extraordinary potential for transformation within the human spirit. His life was shaped by formidable obstacles, yet he devised coping mechanisms and found moments of renewal and growth.
Fuller was convicted of murder in 1991 and sentenced to life in prison. A legal development in 2013 ruled that life without parole is unconstitutional for teenagers, and he was approved for parole in 2019. He will soon be released from prison.
He was convicted of murder
In 1991, Fuller lured 14-year-old Amy Carnevale to his home and stabbed her repeatedly. He then stomped on her head as she lay dying. The brutal killing stunned Beverly and made national headlines. It was not the first time Fuller had been violent with his girlfriend. His mother told the jury that her son was heavily drinking and taking body-building steroids at the time of the crime. The defense also claimed that he was mentally ill, which may have contributed to the murder.
After the murder, Fuller went to a friend’s house where he washed blood off his arms, drank red Kool-Aid and warned his friends not to say anything to police or they would end up like Carnevale. He also helped his friend dispose of the victim’s body. They obtained trash bags, cinder blocks and lobster line to wrap the body up and throw it into Shoe Pond. Fuller then spent the next several days denying knowing where the victim was.
During the trial, Fuller’s mother said that her son was suffering from a mental illness and a drug problem and that she did not know what caused his violent behavior. She argued that Fuller’s drug use and heavy drinking aggravated his depression and mental problems. She asked the court for a life sentence, which he received in November of 1991.
The case against Fuller was complicated by the fact that he was serving a sentence of 19 months to five years for stealing a vehicle on Morse Street in Coldwater at the time of his arrest for the murder. He was also serving a parole violation sentence from a conviction in 2003 in Branch County.
The prosecution presented the evidence that Fuller killed Carnevale out of jealousy. The jury heard that Fuller had a crush on the girl and that he was jealous of her relationship with another boy. The court also heard that he was angry at Carnevale for calling him names and retaliated by stabbing her and stomping on her. He then threw her weighted body into the pond.
He was sentenced to life in prison
A serial rapist sentenced to life in prison is getting a chance at parole under a new Supreme Court ruling. Jamie Fuller, now 44, will have a parole hearing for the first time since his conviction in the 1991 murder of 14-year-old Amy Carnevale. He will be the latest in a series of convicted killers to get a chance at freedom under a 2013 SJC ruling that found life without parole was unconstitutional for juveniles because their brains were not fully developed.
Fuller, who was 16 at the time of the killing, lured his girlfriend to his home and stabbed her repeatedly before stabbing her in the neck as she lay dying. He then tied her up and dumped her body in Shoe Pond in Beverly.
At his trial, Fuller defended himself by arguing that DNA evidence was fabricated. He also claimed that police smuggled evidence out of the courtroom. During the sentencing phase of his trial, Fuller continued railing against his attorney, Thomas Sheets. He referred to him as Judas and said that he received 30 pieces of silver for working against him.
During the sentencing phase of his case, Fuller refused to ask for mercy and showed no remorse for the crimes he committed. Several of the women who Fuller assaulted attended the sentencing, and one of them cried as she spoke. She told the court that she did not feel joy at Fuller’s sentence, but she was happy that he could never hurt anyone else again.
After the sentencing, Fuller was escorted out of the courtroom in handcuffs by police. He blew a kiss to a woman in the gallery who shed tears. He said that he planned to appeal his conviction.
Fuller’s mother says that she is grateful to prosecutors, including Wichita County District Attorney John Gillespie, for their work. She added that she will not be able to see her son again because of the crimes he committed. She added that she was relieved to know that Fuller couldn’t hurt anyone else. He has assaulted nine women, including eight in Kansas and one here in Michigan.
He was approved for parole
Jamie Fuller, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of his 14-year-old girlfriend, Amy Carnevale, was approved for parole in 2019. He is just one of many convicted killers who will soon be eligible to seek their freedom. He will have to demonstrate that he has changed since his conviction, and can be a positive influence on society. The killing of Carnevale was a tragic example of how teenage infatuation can lead to violence and death. It also illustrates how toxic masculinity leads to domestic abuse. The murder of this young woman sparked an outpouring of grief and outrage in the community of Beverly, Massachusetts. The crime was immortalized in a Lifetime film, and echoed through the decades as a reminder of how adolescent love can turn deadly.
In the weeks leading up to the murder, Fuller and Carnevale were having a tumultuous relationship. His friends knew about the deteriorating relationship, but they didn’t tell police. The crime reveals a web of teenage angst and possessiveness that could have been avoided if someone had spoken up.
During the trial, Fuller testified that he stabbed Carnevale out of jealousy and because she told him that she still loved him. He was also influenced by his consumption of steroids and whiskey. He was found guilty of first-degree murder, and received a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
After the verdict was read, there were sobs and gasps in a Salem Superior Courtroom that was filled with friends and relatives of Carnevale and Fuller. Fuller was then taken to the state correctional institution at Cedar Junction in Walpole.
Fuller has shown no remorse for the crime, and has never expressed any interest in expressing remorse to his family. His behavior in prison was erratic and violent, and he has attempted to escape from prison several times. His attempt to escape was foiled by the Michigan State Police. He also threatened to kill the guard who stopped him. The family has not yet decided if they will take legal action against him.
He was released from prison
In 1991, Jamie Fuller lured 14-year-old Amy Carnevale to his home, stabbed her, and stomped on her head as she lay dying. He was 16 at the time, and he had been dating her off and on for years. Her family was worried about her disappearance and contacted the police, but they were unable to find her. Fuller was arrested and convicted of murder. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The case against Jamie Fuller is an ominous reminder of how teenage infatuation can lead to lethal aggression. It also reveals a web of teenage angst, possessiveness, and toxic masculinity. Fuller is currently serving a life sentence at MCI Shirley in Massachusetts. He is eligible for parole in 2019, but he has yet to be approved.
Fuller lured his girlfriend to his house, where he threatened her with a knife and made her promise that she would never tell anyone about what happened. She agreed to meet him at his home, and he brought two friends along. Once they reached a wooded area, Fuller separated from the group and attacked Amy. He grabbed her by the hair, stabbed her several times in the stomach and back, and cut her throat. He then threw her body into Shoe Pond in Beverly.
Despite the gruesome details of her death, Amy’s friends did not notify authorities. They were afraid that they would be targeted as well. One friend even admitted that she knew about the tumultuous relationship and Jamie’s threats, but she was too scared to report it.
The investigation into the case took over a year. Police finally located the body after one of her friends spotted it in the pond. The friends then helped to cover the body and bury it. Jamie Fuller has been in prison ever since.
Fuller has a lengthy criminal record, including a conviction for assaulting a police officer and stealing a car. He is also serving a prison sentence for violating his parole. The court decided that he could not be released until his criminal history was cleaned up.
