A man accused of strangling a University of North Carolina Charlotte student has died the day before his trial. 55-year-old Neal Cassada died at his home Sunday morning at around 10am. Cassada's lawyer said that his client was under a lot of stress and died from natural causes. Cassada had a history of breathing and heart problems. He was set to go to trial the following Monday after his death for the murder of 20-year-old Irina Yarmolenko in Gaston County.
That's one way to get out of going to court! I can't believe this. It's to bad he didn't get to be brought to justice for the murder of that student that he strangled. I'm sure the family of the victom would have liked to shut the case with peace at mind knowing that he was serving his time behind bars. I suppose, in a way, he kind of got what he deserved. A life for a life as some people say. But it's not really justified because, he died from natural causes. He strangled that girl. She didn't get to die of natural causes. Her life was taken from her at a young age. It's not really fair. Of course, life never is fair. I still believe that he should have been punished for his crimes here on earth before getting to check out on life. You can't stop mother nature though. If it was his time to go then so be it. It's in God's hands now. I hope God is giving him the justice he deserves. Maybe God sent him to hell where he belongs with all the other murderers. I feel sorry for the family of that girl that he murdered. They must be feeling all kinds of different feelings about this situation. Mad and sad at the same time. I guess it really is true that God has the final say in the end.
That is very strange. It is one way of getting out of going to court. I kind of agree that he got what he deserved and it's very sad that the young girl was murdered. What are the odds of him dying of natural causes right before he went on trial. That's just bizarre.
ReplyDeleteIf he strangled this girl, why was he allowed to post bail? Sometimes I just do not get the justice system. Oh well even though he did not have to suffer in jail, atleast the parents of this girl will not have to be concerned with this maniac doing this again.
