Sex Offender Gets Life For Murder: After deadlocking 8-4 on giving him a death sentence, an Ohio jury unanimously recommended a life without parole sentence for a man who raped and murdered a coed in 2017. Jim Provance of the Toledo Blade reports that three months after his release from prison for attempted rape, habitual felon Brian Golsby kidnapped, robbed, raped and murdered 21-year-old Reagan Tokes. While Golsby was required to wear an ankle monitor, it was not monitored in real time. After the discovery of the victim's body, authorities were able to place him at the crime scene, where DNA and his confession removed any doubt of his guilt. Golsby was also wearing the ankle monitor when he allegedly committed a series of robberies in the Columbus area, days prior to kidnapping and murdering the coed. At sentencing, the judge criticized the failure to monitor Golsby's behavior in real time and arrest him prior to the murder. "He had an ankle monitor on him, and his behavior did what? It escalated."
Afghan Gets Life for Killing German Girl: A German judge sentenced an undocumented Afghan immigrant to life in prison Thursday for the 2016 rape and murder of a coed in the college town of Freiburg. Alan Hall of AFP reports that judge Kathrin Schenk determined that there was almost no chance of rehabilitation of Hussein Khavari, as she handed down the life sentence, which allows release after 15 years. Under European Union policy, Khavari was allowed to immigrate to Europe with no identity papers sometime prior to 2013, when he was convicted of attempted murder after pushing a woman off a cliff in Greece and sentenced to 10 years. In 2015, he was released after serving about 1 year, and fled to Germany where he claimed he was 17. He was sent to live with a host family in Freiburg and attended a local school. On a night In October of 2016 Khavari knocked 19-year-old medical student Maria Ladenburger off of her bicycle as she was heading to her dorm. He then bit, choked and repeatedly raped the girl before leaving her unconscious in the river to drown. DNA and other forensic evidence identified Khavari as the killer. Medical experts later determined that the Afghan's age was between 22 and 29. Open borders and weak sentencing allowed this murderer to brutally take an innocent life.
