NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Some Connecitcut lawmakers, including State Sen. Heather Somers (R-Groton), are renewing efforts to stop commutations in the state. It was a breath of relief for a family in Waterbury when they learned last month that their son's killer would not be getting out of prison early. Anthony Azukas of East Hartford was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the murder of Scott Mascia in Waterbury in 1998. He's only served about 20 years but was eligible for a commutation hearing in February.
