A man serving time in connection with the 2002 murder and dismemberment of a Virginia couple in Ocean City is requesting a reduced sentence. Benjamin Sifrit was 24-years-old at the time of the killings and under Maryland’s Second Look Act, defendants younger than 25 at the time of an offense, who have served more than 20-years may request an early release. Sifrit is serving a 38-year sentence at the Roxbury Correctional Institution in Hagerstown. His ex-wife Erika, who was originally from Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania, was also convicted in the murders of Joshua Ford and Martha Crutchley and she’s serving life plus 20-years at the Maryland Correctional Institution for Women in Jessup. They were arrested in 2002, and divorced in 2010.
