Jury Gives Life Term in University Shootings
- Share via
A jury recommended life in prison without parole for a former graduate student who killed another student and wounded two others during a seven-hour siege inside Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University’s business school.
Biswanath Halder was convicted last month of killing Norman Wallace during the 2003 shooting spree and standoff.
He could have received the death penalty, but the jury rejected the ultimate sentence during two days of deliberations. Judge Peggy Foley Jones, who must formally decide Halder’s fate, put off sentencing until Feb. 17.
