Prosecutors have filed a notice that they will seek the death penalty for a plastic surgeon who was indicted Thursday on a first-degree murder charge in the death of a missing Largo attorney.

Florida seeks death penalty for Pinellas plastic surgeon in Largo attorney's disappearance case

Tomasz Kosowski, 44, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder back in March.

According to police, Cozzi's body has yet to be found.

Death penalty sought for plastic surgeon accused of murdering Largo lawyer

Prosecutors will seek the death penalty for a plastic surgeon who is suspected of murdering Largo lawyer Steven Cozzi, according to court documents.

www.wfla.com

While Cozzi’s body has not been found as of this report, the prosecution said it believes the murder was “especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel.”

Police ask anyone with information on Cozzi’s location to contact Detective Bolton with the Largo Police Department’s Investigations Division at 727-587-6730.

 

[Marysmith]

I’m not surprised on the death penalty in this case and glad that the lack of body is not holding up charging and prosecuting.

Kosowski’s defense attorney, Bjorn Brunvand, said the death penalty is a “draconian” punishment and said the case remains in its early stages.
“It’s important to keep in mind that I’ve filed a not guilty plea on behalf of my client,” he said.

Many cases are often resolved prior to trial by a plea agreement in which the charges are reduced or a term of imprisonment is recommended by the prosecution instead of the death penalty.

“He never came across as emotional one way or another,” Pillsbury said of Kosowski. “The way that he was on that call was pretty standard for him.”

Thank you for sharing this. What an emotional video. This was such a brutal, senseless crime. Cannot even imagine what Steven went through.
