Justice is finally being taken .. A jury has found David Chalue guilty on all charges in the kidnapping and murder of three Pittsfield men in 2011. A day after a reluctant juror recanted moments after a guilty verdict was rendered, the Hampden Superior Court jury again convicted Chalue. He was found guilty on three counts each of first-degree murder, kidnapping and witness intimidation. After the verdicts were read, the jury was polled, and this time the decision was clearly unanimous. Chalue held his head up high, his jaw clenched, as the verdict was read. He was handcuffed and led from the courtroom. Berkshire District Attorney David F. Capeless requested that Chalue be sentenced immediately on Friday, but Judge C. Jeffrey Kinder scheduled sentencing for Monday. Capeless thanked the jury for their diligence in reaching a fair and unanimous verdict. He conceded there was some concern after the reversal of the verdict on Thursday, but he said the jury went back through the evidence and returned their verdict. Chalue, 47, of North Adams, was accused of helping Adam Lee Hall and Caius Veiovis kidnap, torture, kill and dismember David Glas ser, Robert Chadwell and Edward Frampton in August 2011. Hall was convicted in February and sentenced to three consecutive life terms. Veiovis is scheduled to be tried in September. This story will be updated.
