Either the cellmate recognized him from TV or he bragged about his killing spree. Either way, he ended up like Whitey Bulger.

Thanks to these prison cellmates — doing the dirty jobs our system won’t perform.

Daniel Horowitz was talking about this killer on his Conservative Review podcast. The guy killed a lot of elderly women, probably more than have been identified. He was not going to be given the death penalty, but it looks like he got one anyway.

The Conservative Review podcasts on this situation are worth listening to - interviews with family.

Sept. 1 podcast summary:
Almost nobody in the country knows the story. Between 2016 and 2018, Kenyan national Bill Chemirmir was accused of smothering 22 elderly women in multiple senior living facilities in the North Dallas area and stealing their jewelry. There are likely dozens of others, but he was convicted of only two murders and is now escaping the death penalty altogether. We’re joined today by Ellen French House, daughter of 85-year-old Norma French, who was murdered by Chemirmir, and Cheryl Pangburn, whose 90-year-old mother, Marilyn Bixler, was murdered almost a year later. They discuss their riveting stories and how nobody seems to care about the safety of our seniors. How in the world can at least 22 of these murders take place so brazenly when, from day one, there was enormous evidence of a man who fit his description stalking women and stealing jewelry? Why wasn’t he ever deported? This case raises so many policy questions that cut to the core of our culture, society, law, media, and body politic, and we just scrape the surface in this special episode.

Sept. 15 podcast summary
Today is part two in a series on the serial murder of seniors in the North Dallas area by Billy Chemirmir. We are joined today by Daniel Probst, the nephew of the first known victim, Dr. Cathryn Sinclair, who was smothered to death in April 2016. Probst explains how he filed a homicide and robbery complaint immediately, yet there was never an effort to pursue the case by an understaffed police department, the medical examiner, or the senior living facility management. This episode is a reminder of the importance of exposing egregious trends and injustices in our society because public sunlight is the only way to redress our grievances. Probst warns us that we need to treat the lives of seniors the way we would children

Exactly. There’s no earthly reason this guy shouldn’t have gotten the death penalty.

And maybe he would have repented. As the English writer Dr. Johnson said, roughly paraphrased, “there’s nothing like the prospect of hanging to clarify the mind.”

The state is doing no one any favors by not letting these murderers get their just desserts. It doesn’t make the victim’s survivors feel that their loved one’s death has been taken seriously, it doesn’t make the killer reflect upon his life and maybe take steps to repent and possibly, if reprieved, to lead a changed and good life, and it makes us all feel that no justice has been done.

Whoops - I instantly assumed a white "mercy killer."

Apparently not.

The missing jewelry should have been a tip off. I do not recall any mercy killers who were also thieves.

I will speculate the primary reason the prosecution dropped six capital murder charges was because of skin color.

A white guy would have received an instant death penalty in Texas - because he deserved it!

I wonder if all those women he killed were waiting to escort him to his eternal no resting lace.

He barely got convicted ... which was a surprise. His first trial ended in a mistrial over a deadlocked jury.

He was singing “I fell into a burning Lake of Fire.” Skipped the ring.

The cellmate should get some money added to his prison canteen account.
I would kick $20 in, so long as I could be sure that I could not be doxxed.

Jailhouse justice. Nice to see it still exists.

I'm going to assume that Anton Chigurh killed Billy Chemirmir.

How he got that bolt gun into prison is still a mystery.

I am not clear on one thing...

Did the murderer work at these facilities, or did he just walk in the door and look for opportunities to steal jewelry?

Black man who liked to kill defenseless white women.

Somebody page Jessie Jackson and the SPLC.
