The mother of a teenager convicted of stabbing his girlfriend to death and dumping her weighted body in a pond faced arraignment Thursday accused of plotting to break him out of a Massachusetts prison.
Celeste Fuller, 39, of Beverly, was arrested Wednesday and charged with trying to help her son Jamie Fuller, 18, to escape from the state prison in Concord. She and an alleged accomplice, Edward Goulding, were to be arraigned in Concord District Court.Jamie Fuller was convicted last fall of stabbing his girlfriend, Amy Carnevale, 14, to death in the summer of 1991 and throwing her weighted body into a pond. He claimed heavy drinking and the use of body-building steroids drove him to kill the girl. Fuller was sentenced to life in prison.
Middlesex County District Attorney Tom Reilly said Celeste Fuller allegedly planned to free her son from prison by having him stab himself, and then be taken to Emerson Hospital in Concord, where she and Goulding, her boyfriend, would ambush the guards.
