15 Years for Doubly Deadly Stabbing Spree

From the SAO:

At a hearing today Judge Pamela J. White imposed the agreed-upon sentence for Steven J. Lashley, 32, of the 2000 block of Paulette Road: 30 years in prison suspend all but 15 years, two concurrent five year prison terms and three years probation.

Lashley pled guilty to second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree assault May 19, 2010. The State agreed to the plea when the State’s main witness, a woman previously convicted of manslaughter, told the parties that she intended to invoke her Fifth Amendment right and would not testify if called as a witness.

On September 22, 2005 Lashley stabbed three people in the 400 block of Water Street at Commerce Street following an altercation in a nearby New York Fried Chicken restaurant. Stanley Thomas, Jr was killed and two others were injured.

it's curtains for you, Miranda, my dear...

The US Supreme court rules "a suspect who has received and understood the Miranda warnings, and has not invoked his Miranda rights, waives the right to remain silent by making an un-coerced statement to the police."
