Body Snatchers Muscle Found Guilty

Good.  The jury got it right.

A Milwaukee County jury has convicted Donald Cooper of suffocating a man to death with a plastic bag and burying his body under concrete and of torturing a different man with hot chicken grease.

Cooper, 42, whom witnesses called the muscle in a criminal organization known as the Body Snatchers, was convicted of 1st degree intentional homicide, kidnapping, aggravated battery and cocaine dealing.

He faces life in prison when he is sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey Wagner on July 14, a week after Michael Lock, the purported head of the Body Snatchers, is set to go on trial.

1. What shocked me about this article was the people who wailed and cried at the verdict. Frankly I would have expected to hear cheering that a thug like this was off the streets.
