BREAKING: Man who kidnapped young Massachusetts mother, leading to her death, sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Louis Coleman has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping Jassy Correia; he faces life in prison if convicted.
The verdict, he said through a translator,"proved once again that this individual is a criminal. He doesn't have a right to be in society. This is satisfactory to me." They presented graphic evidence against Coleman, including video of him carrying Correia piggyback to his car after she was pushed out of an Uber that wasn't hers into the cold night. Prosecutors said Coleman took Correia to his apartment in Providence, Rhode Island, where he stuffed her body in a suitcase."She never arrived home, and the reason why is this defendant and his actions," Assistant U.S. Attorney Elianna Nuzum said during the trial.
