Man Sentenced For Putnam County Murder
WEST VIRGINIA....
Jesse Cossin was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty last August to second degree murder, attempted murder and malicious assault. He admitted that, in February 2009, he fatally shot Anglea Casto at a home in Red House in Putnam County and injured Nicholas Hanshaw, who has recovered. Cossin will serve 40 years in prison on the second degree murder charge, 3-15 years on the attempted murder charge and 2-10 years on the malicious wounding charge, the sentences to be served consecutively, meaning Cossin faces 45 to 65 years in prison. The judge did give Cossin credit for the 608 days he's already served.
