A man convicted of killing a University of New Hampshire student will find out whether he will get a new trial.
Prosecutors say Seth Mazzaglia (muh-ZAYL'-ee-uh) strangled 19-year-old Elizabeth "Lizzi" Marriott in 2012 and dumped her body in a river. Mazzaglia says the Westborough, Massachusetts, woman died accidentally during a consensual sex act.
Mazzaglia is serving a life sentence after being convicted of murder. He's appealing his conviction, saying his attorneys should have been allowed to introduce evidence about Marriott's alleged prior consensual sexual activity.
