A life sentence has been given to Rashonda Lowe for the murder of a business owner in Dallas. The victim, Jaime Rokkett, owned a cookie shop at the Shops at RedBird. Lowe pleaded guilty to murder on the first day of her trial.
The jury decided her punishment after rejecting her argument that she acted under sudden passion. This rejection resulted in a life sentence, as a finding of sudden passion could have reduced the punishment. Further details about the case are available from the source.
