WOODMANSEE
SOUTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- Michael Woodmansee, who was convicted of killing five-year-old Jason Foreman in South Kingstown in 1975 and kept the boys' shellacked bones on his dresser until confessing to the crime seven years later, has registered to vote in the fall election.
Woodmansee, currently a patient in a locked down area of the Eleanor Slater Hospital in Cranston -- where he volunteered to go, following his controversial release from prison last year -- he has requested an absentee ballot from City Hall, according to Joseph DeLorenzo, chairman of the city's Board of Canvassers
"People were totally upset with him being released. Now he's got a right to vote on top of that? Sorry, I don't think it's right," said DeLorenzo.
