Chimene Onyeri Sentenced To Life In Prison For Shooting A Judge In US by EzegeNG(op): 6:42am On Oct 03, 2018
31-year-old Nigerian man, Chimene Onyeri, will spend the rest of his life in federal prison and will pay restitution of $178,374.41 for his financial crimes, U.S. District Judge, Lee Yeakel, said, on Tuesday, in downtown Austin. .

On April 26, Onyeri was found guilty on 17 counts of mail fraud, identity theft, wire fraud, racketeering, witness tampering and the 2015 attempted capital murder of state district court judge, Julie Kocurek. .

Kocurek was in the courtroom both days of the sentencing phase. She is relieved and feels at peace at this time. .

"It's been two years and 11 months and it feels so good to wake up in the morning and to know my family is safe from Mr. Onyeri and his associates,” said Kocurek. .

There is no option for parole in the federal court system. Onyeri’s attorney, Victor Arana, was trying to get his client a lesser sentence of 30 years. Prosecutors say Onyeri has ten co-conspirators who are still awaiting sentencing.

Onyeri admitted to shooting his initial trial judge, Kocurek, in the driveway of her home, but, he denies attempting to kill, or even injure her. He previously testified he only wanted to scare her.

This isn't about tribe, some people are either stupid or extremely wicked and inhumane. A country that people are struggling for a chance to be there and this is all he could do there with the chance he got.
Only you steal, defraud, still attempt to murder.. "village people swear for you?"

Let them keep him there at least he has a chance of rehabilitation.
