Escape Artist
March 7, 2009
Arkansas: Texarkana-After being caught escaping from prison twice and failing to appear 3 times, Demarcus Cooks, 38, could have accepted a plea deal of 45 years in prison. However, he chose to let a jury decide his fate . After only 90 minutes of deliberation the jury awarded him a series of sentences totaling 100 years. Normally a prisoner is eligible for parole after serving 1/3 of his sentence, but his prior 16 convictions brand him as a habitual criminal and make it unlikely that he will ever see freedom again. click here for limerick
