The Very American Killing of Nia Wilson
the night of July 22nd, an eighteen-year-old black woman named Nia Wilson and her older sister Lahtifa were exiting a bart station in Oakland, California, when a man suddenly approached and stabbed both sisters in the neck with a knife. The women were on their way back to Oakland after attending a party at their aunt’s house, in nearby Concord. Nia bled to death on the platform as Lahtifa, who suffered less grave injuries, attempted to soothe her: “We’re gonna get through this. I got you, you’re my baby sister.” Witnesses have said that Nia’s torso rapidly became soaked in her own blood. With a gauze bandage on her neck, Lahtifa told ABC News the next day that she had glimpsed the assailant wiping down his weapon before he dashed out of the station. Less than twenty-four hours later, a manhunt by the bart police ended when officers acted on a tip and apprehended John Lee Cowell, a twenty-seven-year-old white parolee. Camera footage showed that he had been riding the bart system back and forth in the intervening time.

they were gonna try and plead with insanity right? i heard that got shot down
Jurors reached a guilty verdict Tuesday in the case against John Lee Cowell, who was accused of fatally stabbing Nia Wilson on the platform of the MacArthur BART station in Oakland on July 22, 2018.
The verdict was read shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday. The Alameda County District Attorney confirmed the guilty verdict to KPIX 5.
The jury came to a quick decision, finding Cowell guilty on charges of murder and attempted murder after only a couple hours of deliberation. The second charge was for the stabbing attack by Cowell on Letifah Wilson, Nia’s sister, who survived.
Depending on the outcome of the trial, Cowell either faces life in prison or he would serve a his sentence at a state mental hospital.

But his lawyer is trying to argue mental incompetence - meaning that he could possibly serve his time in a state mental hospital instead of a prison due to labeling him as a “paranoid schizophrenic” who was void of reality.
I think both would be equally bad tbh. Imagine being sane and having to spend the rest of your life housed with a bunch of schitzos
Ford told jurors that Cowell, a 29-year-old transient man, should be convicted of first-degree murder and the special circumstance of lying in wait because he believes Cowell knew what he was doing at the time and premeditated the attack.
But Moore said Cowell has been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and said his mind “was completely divorced from reality” at the time.
On Wednesday, a separate sanity phase of the trail will begin. Cowell pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity
When white boys commit murder - it merits a mental capacity phase of the trial.

Nah, not the same at all. Especially if he can petition for an appeal off that basis, for an early release.I think both would be equally bad tbh. Imagine being sane and having to spend the rest of your life housed with a bunch of schitzos

If he was really schizophrenic, he wouldn't have had a spare set of clothes stashed away like he did. Hopefully the jury does the right thing, but the way these things tend to go
Mannnn I hope dude gets the same treatment he gave to this sista but he might just get by with that insanity defense. As much as I enjoyed my time in Oakland there were WAY too many sketchy people around the bart stations that just looked crazy
