Grand Rapids judge imposes 200 year sentence in murder case
Holland native Jared Chance received a maximum 200 year term for the murder and dismemberment of Ashley Young. Judge Mark Trusack called the crime the worst he has ever presided over, noting the lack of remorse and brutality. Young was killed in late November 2018 with body parts found in Chance's Grand Rapids apartment after a neighbor reported a foul odor. After a week long trial in September, Chance was convicted of second degree murder, mutilation of a dead body, concealing a death and tampering with evidence.
