A man convicted of conspiracy in the murder-for-hire killing of Derry handyman Jack Reid is fighting to get released from prison early. Chase wrote in his objection. Prosecutors have said the plan was hatched because John Brooks believed that the year-old Reid had stolen from him.

In , his attorney argued to reduce his sentence and consider that his opioid dependence affected his behavior before the murder.
