Muslim convert in Illinois sentenced for murdering family
The Chicago Tribune (via The American Thinker) reports that a Muslim convert has been sentenced, including for the murder of a pregnant woman:
A man who was angry that his family would not go along with his conversion to Islam was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday in the slayings of his mother, pregnant wife, infant son and two nieces in a rampage last year on the South Side.If Illinois has thrown out the death penalty, that's simply atrocious. Filth like that need to be cleansed of the earth, just like bin Laden was.
James A. Larry, 33, of Madison, Wis., pleaded guilty last month to multiple counts of murder, attempted murder and the intentional homicide of an unborn child. [...]
Prosecutors said Larry came to Chicago in April 2010 bent on slaughtering his relatives at the home in the Marquette Park neighborhood. He had converted to Islam while serving a prison sentence in Wisconsin for a weapons conviction.
"He was upset at his wife and their family — he felt disrespected that they would not join his religion," Assistant State's Attorney Jim McKay said. "It didn't matter if they were young or old, pregnant or not. He wanted them dead." [...]
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty for Larry before the state's recent ban on capital punishment. McKay said the fact the slayings were premeditated made Larry's case "call out for the death penalty."
