Title 47, Chapter 1, Section 24
( 47-1-24)
No person who commits or conspires to commit the murder or voluntary
manslaughter of a member, retiree, or beneficiary under a public
retirement system shall receive any refund of contributions or any
benefit under the public retirement system upon the death of the
member, retiree, or beneficiary, even though the person so killing
or conspiring is a named beneficiary for such refund of
contributions or benefit. A plea of guilty or a judicial finding of
guilt which is not reversed or otherwise set aside as to any such
crime shall be prima-facie evidence of guilt for the purpose of
applying the provisions of this Code section. All rights,
interests, and entitlements to any such refund of contributions or
benefit shall go to the secondary beneficiary designated by the
member, retiree, or beneficiary, if a secondary beneficiary is
designated and is living, upon the death of the member, retiree, or
beneficiary, but otherwise to the member's, retiree's, or
beneficiary's estate. |
