TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands (AP) - A Rhode Island man convicted of killing his wife during a 1999 scuba trip should serve at least 25 years in prison before getting parole, prosecutors in the British Virgin Islands told a judge on Wednesday.
David Swain, 53, automatically faces a life sentence after a jury found him guilty last week, but he can be eligible for parole, and Supreme Court Justice Indra Hariprashad-Charles heard defense and prosecution arguments on when it might be allowed.
Swain sat expressionless and did not speak.
