Eric Smith, the then-13-year-old convicted of murdering a 4-year-old in 1993, has reportedly been granted parole.
According to WHAM and WENY, Smith, 41, could be released from the Woodbourne Correctional Facility sometime in mid-November.
Smith made national headlines when he lured Derrick Robie into the woods and killed him in 1993 with a rock in Savona, New York.
According to the Associated Press, Smith was found guilty of second-degree murder in 1994 and was sentenced to nine years to life in prison.
The AP reported that Smith was denied parole last year for the 10th time.
