Veiovis

“Let me make this clear, my hand wasn’t in this,” Caius Veiovis, 34, of Pittsfield, said in a statement he read at his sentencing hearing in Hampden Superior Court.

Veiovis was convicted Friday in the killings of David Glasser, 44; Edward Frampton, 58, and Robert Chadwell, 47, all from Pittsfield.

Veiovis was the third co-defendant convicted of first-degree murder.

Prosecutors said Veiovis helped Adam Lee Hall, 37, of Peru, and David Chalue, 47, of North Adams, kidnap and shoot the victims weeks before Glasser was to testify against Hall, a Hells Angels member, in an assault case.

Veiovis said in his statement that authorities didn’t believe he killed the men and offered him a plea bargain he rejected.
