PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A city man being held on assault charges will have murder added to the list after his 27-year-old girlfriend died late Thursday morning from injuries sustained from a brutal beathing.
Rebecca Moulton died at Berkshire Medical Center, where she was admitted Wednesday morning after being found battered in her Fourth Street apartment, according to Berkshire District Attorney David F. Capeless.
David W. Vincent III, 40, who resided with Moulton, will be arraigned Friday morning in Central Berkshire District Court on a single count of murder. He entered pleas of not guilty when he was arraigned Thursday morning in district court on single counts of assault with intent to murder and aggravated assault and battery.
Judge Frederic Rutberg ordered that he be held at the Berkshire County House of Correction on $25,000 cash or $250,000 surety bail. Bail previously set on a pending charge scheduled for trial of domestic assault and battery, also alleged to have been committed on Moulton, was ordered revoked.
Vincent reportedly has a criminal record that includes previous assaults and several restraining orders.

It seems to me that the type of person that needs to be charged with a restraining order is the type of person that would not be impressed with a restraining order. Also, as previously mentioned, the consequences for violating a restraining order are inconsequential.

The facts are that to many women have died
at the hand of uncontrolled rage.How many more
must die for loveing someone.
She was a beautiful person, there is no excuse
for her death. The person who did this deserves
no sympathy or understanding.

Before you judge someone you should have all the facts.

You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, the restraining order isn't taken very seriously by the legal system, it seems. If it were, this guy should have been tossed in jail a long time, I'd bet. Violate one and it's a slap on the wrist. This was a horrible incident and she deserves quick justice and he deserves to rot for the rest of his life at Walpole.

As I read this article, one questions came to mind. How many restraining orders need to be broken to make the courts realize that they are just another piece of paper to those abusive men from whom we ask protection?
While I'm not familiar with the back story, I can only imagine the horror this woman endured at the hands of a man who was supposed to love and protect her.
My heart goes out to her family.
Love isn't supposed to hurt!
