Title 47, Chapter 3, Section 142
( 47-3-142)
No person who commits or conspires to commit the murder or voluntary
manslaughter of a member or retiree shall receive any refund of
contributions or retirement benefits under this chapter upon the
death of the member or retiree, even though the person so killing or
conspiring is the named beneficiary for such refund of contributions
or retirement benefits. A plea of guilty or a judicial finding of
guilt, not reversed or otherwise set aside as to any of such crimes,
shall be prima-facie evidence of guilt in determining rights under
this chapter. All right, interest, and entitlement to any such
refund of contributions or retirement benefits shall go to the
secondary beneficiary designated by the member or retiree, if the
secondary beneficiary is living, upon the death of the member or
retiree, otherwise to the member's or retiree's estate. |
