GUILTY OH - Samantha Greenlee, 22, pregnant, Columbus, 8 Oct 2014

Aggravated murder is a death penalty offence in Ohio isn't it?

Prolly a re-hash, but here's an article from MSM here in Raleigh, NC:

I will repeat what seems to have become one of our all-too-often used mantras: WTH is wrong with people?

Pregnancy should be a time of happiness, and it should be doubly so when it is shared with the other parent. Now, in addition to morning sickness for many pregnant women, murder is another hazard of what should be one of the happiest times of our lives.

Dammit.

This story is from last November. They took the death penalty off the table.

Despite the murder of his pregnant girlfriend, the prosecutor says he can't charge Ferraro with the death penalty. "The fetus has to be viable in order to permit a death specification," said Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien.

Ferrero pleaded not guilty to the charges and hopefully he will get life without parole. What he did to Samantha is enough to justify that he should never be a free individual.

RIP Samantha

The man accused of killing his girlfriend and her unborn child has pleaded guilty to murder.

Jacob Ferrero, 24, admitted to the charges of aggravated murder, murder, aggravated arson, and gross abuse of a corpse, for the death of his girlfriend, 22-year-old Samantha Greenlee, who prosecutors said confessed to beating her with a baseball bat before he strangled after an argument. The Franklin County coroner confirmed Greenlee died from blunt force trauma to the head.

Thanks, Justice, for informing us of Ferrero's guilty plea. No trial for the family endure, that's good. I hope he gets life behind bars for taking the lives of Samantha and her unborn child. Selfish fool. Selfish, selfish fool.

Ferrero sentenced to 45 years to life for murder of pregnant girlfriend

http://myfox28columbus.com/news/local/today-ferrero-to-be-sentenced-for-killing-pregnant-girlfriend

Jacob Ferrero has been sentenced to prison for 45 years to life for murdering his pregnant girlfriend, Samantha Greenlee, and her unborn child.

McCarthy reported 10 sheriff's deputies were in the courtroom for Ferrero's sentencing. His family and Greenlee's family members attended as well, and they had hoped Ferrero would be sent to prison for life without parole.

"After 45 years, he could still get out and live free for another 20 years or so," dad Douglas Greenlee said. "I don't think the justice system looks at it the right way."
