Maine’s Highest Court Tells Judge To Sentence Convicted Killer Again In Double Jeopardy Appeal

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court on Tuesday told a Superior Court justice for a second time to resentence a man convicted of felony murder in a drug-related slaying five years ago. Aubrey Armstrong , 31, of Far Rockaway, New York, was found guilty in 2018 in the 2015 slaying of Joseph Marceau of Augusta, who was found bound and beaten in his apartment. Under Maine law, a person is guilty of felony murder when a death is caused during the commission of a felony crime such as robbery. Originally, Armstrong was convicted of felony murder and robbery in a jury-waived trial before Superior Court Justice Dan Billings at the Capital Judicial Center in Augusta.
