Sentenced: Rashon A. Causey, 40 Was Arrested 92 Times Before He Killed The Mother Of One Of His Children

[Sugar Cookie]

Prosecutors had sought a life sentence, but a Burlington County Superior Court judge returned a sentence of 50 years Friday for a man convicted of fatally stabbing the mother of one of his children.

Rashon A. Causey, 40, must serve more than 42 years before becoming eligible for parole. He killed Shanai Marshall, 37, in her home in Burlington City in 2016 after forcing his way inside. Causey had a violent crime history of more than 92 arrests and 11 felony convictions before the murder, authorities said.

"Given this defendant's enormous criminal history, and the violent way in which he killed the mother of his child, it is hard to imagine a defendant more deserving of the life sentence the state sought here," Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina said. "However, the court's sentence of 50 years makes it likely that he will never experience freedom again, and that will hopefully afford some degree of comfort to Shanai's loved ones."

More than 20 family and friends of the victim were in the courtroom in Mount Holly on Friday at the sentencing, including two who addressed the court about the magnitude of their loss.

"She was done with the guy... You could see the glow in her," Nicole Vieira, 42, of Lumberton, said shortly after the killing. "She was serious, and he knew it."

Seriously.

We say do background checks on prospective partners.

If you actually fall asleep prior to making it through all of their charges? Maybe that person might not be the one.

Or maybe he might murder you.

It isn’t rocket surgery, folks!!

If only there had been some indication he could be a violent prick.

fatally stabbing the mother of one of his children.

Because making your kid a virtual orphan was preferable to your ex living her own life outside your control. I hope you 're a prison bitch forever more.

Causey had a violent crime history of more than 92 arrests and 11 felony convictions before the murder, authorities said.

,,, and yet, not a life sentence? 0.o

I guess they think he is a good candidate for rehabilitation.

You already know the answer to this.
"That won't happen to me. I'll kill him first."
Or
"If he loves me he'll change."
"He said he was sorry."
"But I love him so much."
"We have kids together."

Ad nauseum
