CHICAGO — The woman who was found guilty of killing her landlord and storing body parts in a freezer maintained her innocence as Judge Ursula Walowski sentenced her Wednesday to 58 years in prison.
“I understand a jury found me legally liable for murder. But I did not commit this crime. With God as my witness, I never harmed Fran,” Sandra Kolalou told the court as she learned her fate in the death of 69-year-old Frances Walker.
Kolalou, 39, earlier this year was found guilty of first-degree murder, dismemberment and aggravated identity theft in Walker’s death. Police in the fall of 2022 discovered body parts in a freezer at Westridge Boarding home on the 5900 block of North Washtenaw Avenue while investigating Walker’s disappearance. Walker owned the boarding house for single women and lived there. At the time Walker was reported missing, Kolalou was a tenant at Walker’s boarding house.
At the Leighton Criminal Courts Building, Walker’s family reacted emotionally.
“Sandra asked the judge for mercy, but she did not give my sister any mercy,” said Walker’s sister, Benita Walker.
“It’s just extra sad that it was like one of the best people that I knew in my life,” Walker’s brother Arnold Walker added. “She had no enemies.”
Kolalou’s attorneys vowed to appeal, alleging the police investigation into the matter was flawed and too narrowly focused on Kolalou.
“They didn’t go after anybody. Sandra Kolalou was the first and only suspect,” defense attorney Samuel Jackson III said.
But Cook County Asst. State’s Attorney Dan Crone alleged that Kolalou, among other things, attacked a jail guard.
“She’s a dangerous person with no regard for the safety of anyone she encounters,” he said.
Not skin pigment but race as a whole has a HUGE impact on violent criminal behaviour. Those implying as much are RIGHT and you are WRONG.
Listen. I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me. You can’t prove it!
I’ve used that defense dozens of times so far. ;)
So HAPPY I am no longer a Landlord and forced to deal with these people until my dying day. Literally. My. Dying. Day. :(
Let the statistics do the talking:
“Young Black men and teens are killed by guns 20 times more than their white counterparts, CDC data shows”
That’s 2,000% more often.
Landlord must have raised the rent too much.
Blacks commit more crimes than whites in this country.
But it’s not their skin pigment that makes them do it.
Maybe you didn’t think carefully.
Blacks commit more crimes than whites.
Patriots, including black patriots, know the solution is simply justice under the rule of law.
But communists and those manipulated by the communists only want to whine about it and fuel the flames of racial division.
Ive thought very carefully and read the science on the subject for decades. Read The Bell Curve at 17. Followed up with a couple dozen works on race and behaviour, sociobiology and evolutionary biology, then works on the socioeconomics of race and ethnicity. What have you studied on this subject?
Race is HEAVILY causative in many, many behaviours, including criminal ones. It is just as much a reason for crime as environment, upbringing and values. Much more so than politics and economics. This may be a hard pill for you to swallow but the races aren’t equal in rheir behaviours and actions and RACE IS CAUSATIVE in part. Not deterministic on the one hand amd not merely correlative on the other. This American myth of all men created equal means only that we judge all by an equal standard NOT that we are all actually equal.
But you have nothing. All your studying gave you—nothing. So next time, remember to comment only when you have a real comment.
To demonstrate, let’s observe your answer to the following question:
What is the causal role of melanin in the commission of crime?
Ridiciulous. It’s called learning and knowledge. And your question is false. I said RACE not melanin, which is merely one rather superficial aspect. MELANIN is not a causal factor; different GENES predisposing to different behaviours are. There is a strong genetic basis for much bad behaviour. These genes vary greatly by race and ethnicity. Read, comprehend, learn.
Then why have you not described the chain of causality?
I expect you to provide something of substance. Not the empty claim, “genes cause people to commit crimes.”
Until you can do this, I say you’re part of the low IQ globalist crowd who want to divide our country by race.
Dude…this is a message board online. Not a place for an intellectual dissertation. Do you have any idea how complictated the issues are? I mentioned I’ve studied it for many years. It’s not going to be summarized in a paragraph online! Start reading and learning, as I have already suggested.
If there are academic studies showing skin color causes crime, then they’re in the same journal showing SUVs cause accidents and firearms are guilty of murder.
And another thing. If there were any science showing race causes particular behaviors, and if you knew as much about it as you claim, then you’d be able to articulate the fundamentals in concise terms.
People who are true experts—or even semi-experts—have as part of their expertise the ability to make the complex understandable.
