2 men sentenced to life without parole in murder of Cleveland mom in front of her kids

Описание: 50-year-old Jamar Skanes and 35-year-old Alontez Beasley have been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after both were found guilty of multiple charges connected to the murder of 29-year-old Alyson Appling-France, a Cleveland mom who was shot in front of her two young daughters.

“These are horrible crimes in and of themselves," said Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Brendan J. Sheehan. "The details of the crimes that you’ve committed are even worse. We’ve seen a week-long trial of both of you stalking Alyson Appling-France for days. Hunting her. Hunting her. And thank goodness for the great work of the Cleveland Police Department and our homicide unit because they showed us this hunting. Their Crime Strategy Unit, the videos, the cameras in this community, showed both of you, both of you, out there hunting, stalking this victim. What’s sad is on Jan. 5, you tried. It didn’t get done. The messages and the text messages and the evidence that came into this trial showed that you were hired to kill this lady. This community and this jury and this court watched the actions that both of you took on Jan. 10 as Miss Alyson Appling-France and her two children went shopping at Target and when they returned home, watching as you, Mr. Beasley, got out of that van and you, Mr. Skanes, sitting in that truck as you brutally executed her in front of her children. It was cold. It was calculated. Murder. Completely devoid of any humanity. Even now, neither of you have shown one bit of remorse to anyone here."
