The Tennessee Board of Parole has decide that Christopher Nicholas Orlando will spend at least two more years in prison.

Orlando, 43, was the subject of a parole hearing last Tuesday in which three board members voted to deny his parole due to the seriousness of the offense. The votes of three of the seven board members were required to decide the outcome. The case will be reconsidered in March, 2018.

Orlando has served a little over 13 years of a 35-year sentence for facilitation of first degree murder in the 2002 shooting death of Joshua Murphy. His sentence will be up in 2040.

Murphy was killed with a shotgun in the Laurel Hill Community on Sept. 15, 2002, and his body was found three days later. Authorities said the crime occurred because Orlando and Melvin Turnbill suspected Murphy of stealing methamphetamine from them.

Orlando was convicted in April, 2004. Turnbill entered a guilty plea to facilitation of first-degree murder in September, 2003, was given a 25-year sentence, and was granted parole in March 2015. He was recently arrested on burglary and DUI charges in Putnam County.
