Lindsay Haugen, featured in Netflix’s “I Am A Killer,” sought clemency from the Montana parole board for the 2015 murder of her boyfriend, Robert Mast. She initially confessed on the show, claiming it was out of love and a desire to kill. Haugen later retracted the confession, attributing it to pressure from detectives. She acknowledged her guilt, expressed remorse, and highlighted her efforts to address alcohol addiction. However, a police detective testified against her, citing additional disturbing statements from her interrogation. Mast’s family opposed her release, emphasizing the impact of the crime on their lives. The parole board has 30 days to make a recommendation to the governor, who has the final say. Haugen’s eligibility for parole without clemency is in 2030. Clemency is rare, and the board held a public hearing to consider Haugen’s case. The Netflix episode was not a primary consideration for the board. Ultimately, the fate of Haugen’s request rests with the governor, who must weigh the conflicting perspectives in making a decision.
