Justin Sales requests speedy trial in Puleio case upon return to Virginia


A man charged with the murder of a 92-year-old Amherst County woman in 2019 has returned to Virginia and invoked his right to a speedy trial. Sales, who was found guilty of assaulting his ex-girlfriend in New Hampshire last year, is now facing charges in the death of Doris Puleio. Her family, including grandson Craig Puleio, is eager for the case to be resolved and the perpetrator prosecuted to the fullest extent.

Doris Puleio and her daughter were shot in their home, with Doris tragically losing her life. Craig Puleio has sought information on the case from the Commonwealth’s Attorney but has received limited responses. The legal process in Virginia allows for a trial to begin within five months if the defendant is in custody, with continuances potentially affecting this timeline.

The decision to invoke the right to a speedy trial can be a strategic move to pressure the prosecution, according to Chief Public Defender Aaron Boone. Despite concerns about the readiness of the Commonwealth Attorney’s office, Sales is scheduled for a court advisement. The Puleio family hopes for justice to prevail in this case and for closure to be achieved.
