After more than two and a half years, the monster who pled guilty to decapitating 22-year-old Liese Dodd and tossing her head in a dumpster has finally learned his fate.
In a press release shared to the State Attorney’s Office Facebook on Friday, it was announced that 25-year-old Deundrea Holloway was being sentenced to 60 years in prison for first-degree murder, intentional homicide of an unborn child, and concealment of a homicidal death for 8-month-pregnant Dodd.
He should be shown the same mercy that he gave Dodd and her unborn child, if you ask me.
Too Fab reports:
The sentence was a combination of 30 years for murder, 20 on homicide, and 10 for concealment, with the sentences to be served consecutively, as noted by Law & Crime. He further must serve 52 years before he’s eligible for early release.
Shortly after his arrest, Holloway’s stepfather spoke with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, where he stated that his stepson had heard “voices” for years. His mother said they’d been “trying to get him help for years, but have been denied.”
The Attorney’s Office statement notes that twice during Holloway’s trial, his defense questioned if he was fit to stand trial, “resulting in court-ordered psychological evaluations.” At one point, he was deemed mentally unfit, leading to him being treated at a state institution for months until he was deemed fit.
“For the family and loved ones of Liese, these types of issues have caused continued angst and uncertainty. This guilty conviction ends that,” said Haine in the statement. “Our hope is that this conviction and sentence provide the family and loved ones some assurance and will be a step toward healing.”
Haine continued, “This case has been difficult for everyone. Obviously, it has been traumatic for Liese’s family. With this resolution, they were spared the additional trauma associated with a trial. My heart goes out to the family, whose strength, courage and resiliency during this process have been truly remarkable.”
Holloway’s stepfather added that he heard “three voices who speak to him….One is Ruth, and that one is bad….She tells him who he can and can’t trust. She tells him bad things.”
Sounds like he should be locked up in a mental ward, emphasis on LOCKED. Whether he is pretending to hear these voices or if he is actually plagued by demons, the guy is clearly off his rocker and does not deserve a chance to hurt another person.
Being mentally ill isn’t an excuse for murder.
