Is He Dangerous?

Picture this: a man who was paroled in North Carolina in 2006 for stealing two cars, tying up two elderly women, and fleeing the police is now on trial for murder in North Texas, and his lawyer is claiming he's not that dangerous. Since Kosoul Chanthakoummane was only attempting to rob Sarah Anne Walker, he should not be sentenced to death. Or at least that's the story his lawyer is using to attempt to get his client away from a death sentence.
Sarah Walker's body was found with 33 sharp wounds on her upper body and a bite mark. Kosoul beat her with a wooden plant stand in order to steal a ring and a Rolex watch. Now does that sound like a dangerous criminal? Kosoul knew exactly what he was doing. He knew that if she put up a struggle he would have to kill her. This man should get a life sentence if not the death penalty. Kosoul received only six years in prison for what he did in North Carolina and immediately after he was bailed he kills a woman over a couple of pieces of jewelry. He is a criminal who can’t seem to stay out of the news for more than a year. He is a man who is willing to kill a person over a few priceless belongings. He deserves punishment.
I am not a right wing conservative who believes that death is the highest form of punishments, but I do believe that punishment is due where it punishment is deserved, and Kosoul Chanthakoummane deserves to be behind locked doors.


We, the Jury, find the defendant...
