Britton violently killed his family inside their Dutchess County home in 1989 with a shotgun.
He’s served 34 years of his 25 years to life sentence.
The board had granted him release during a special hearing in March but reversed its decision during a hearing on May 31, after new evidence about his ineligibility for parole surfaced, and safety concerns from his surviving sister and the district attorney.
