(Harrisburg) — A woman convicted of helping a friend kill a teenage rival almost three decades ago in Lancaster County has been released on parole.
The state Department of Corrections confirmed Tuesday that 45-year-old Tabitha Buck had been released on parole Saturday.
Lancaster County prosecutors said she and Lisa Michelle Lambert killed their high school classmate, Laurie Show, in December 1991 because Lambert saw Show as a romantic rival.
Buck, who was 17 at the time of the crime, was originally sentenced to a life term.
She was re-sentenced 28 years to life following a U.S Supreme Court ruling barring mandatory life sentences for juvenile offenders.
