SETH MAZZAGLIA FOUND GUILTY -- MANDATORY LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT PAROLE
After a day of deliberations and a monthlong trial, jurors on Friday found Seth Mazzaglia guilty of two counts of murder for the strangulation death of University of New Hampshire sophomore Elizabeth “Lizzi” Marriott. The crimes are punishable by a mandatory sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole.

After the verdicts were announced, Marriott’s father Bob (pictured above with Lizzi) was hugged by friends, family and members of law enforcement who worked on the investigation.
“We are very grateful that the jury returned a guilty verdict for first degree murder,” Bob Marriott said. “Because it will keep the convict in prison for the rest of his life. Keeping him off the streets protects the other young women who might have otherwise become additional victims which is what we had hoped for. Unfortunately, a trial, even with a conviction, can not console us over the loss of Lizzi. We will always miss her and wonder what could have been. In fact the trial has been torturous for us. The truth of what happens to Lizzi is horrendous. And every time it has been told, it has reinforced the despair that we feel.’
Marriott also thanked jurors, prosecutors, police officers and court staff for their help and comfort.
