"Life in Prison for 'Mountain Dew Man' Who Murdered Retired Couple on Hiking Trail"

A 27-year-old man, Logan Clegg, was sentenced to up to life in prison for the shooting deaths of a retired couple on a hiking trail in New Hampshire. Clegg, who lived in a tent in the woods, maintained his innocence throughout the trial. The judge called him a "stone-cold, violent murderer" and imposed the requested sentence of two terms of 50 years to life. Clegg was convicted of multiple charges, including second-degree murder and falsifying physical evidence. Prosecutors presented evidence of Clegg's lies, attempted escape, and the gun found in his backpack. The defense argued that the wrong person was charged and questioned the evidence. The motive for the killings remains unknown.
