Another judge alleged to have buried evidence as a D.A. [View all]

A Winnemucca man serving life without the possibility of parole says he takes responsibility for the murder that put him behind bars.

“I drove up there. I’m the reason we went to the tent,” Matt Hutchinson testified in March during proceedings he hopes will win him a chance at parole. “I’m the reason we went in. I’m the reason we confronted him. I’m responsible.”
