Man Pleads Guilty To Putnam County Murder
WEST VIRGINIA....
Jesse Cossin has pleaded guilty to second degree murder, attempted murder and malicious assault in connection to the February 2009 shooting death of Angela Casto which occurred at a home in Red House of Putnam County. Investigators say Cossin went to the home, where Casto and Nicholas Hanshaw were, armed with a gun and knife. Hanshaw told authorities Cossin fired a shot through the door, hitting Hanshaw in the leg and Casto in the chest. Cossin then forced his way into the trailer and fought with Hanshaw, who eventually wrestled the gun from Cossin. Cossin then pulled out a knife and slashed Hanshaw in the jaw. Cossin's sentencing is set for September 21st.
