Arizona Prosecutors Seek Death Penalty for Prison Murders
Description
Pinal County prosecutors in Arizona have filed notice to seek the death penalty against Ricky Wassenaar, whos accused of murdering three fellow inmates at the Arizona State Prison Complex. Wassenaar, already serving sixteen life sentences, is facing three counts of first-degree murder and aggravated assault. The brutal killings of Donald Lashley, Thomas Harnage, and Saul Alvarez have shocked even hardened prison staff. County Attorney Brad Miller argues that Wassenaars history of violence, including a 2004 hostage situation, supports the death penalty. No trial date has been set, but the prosecution is preparing for a high-stakes case.
