Breaking Bond: One year after 80-year-old grandmother is murdered by a repeat violent offender
FOX 26 Reporter Randy Wallace has more in our ongoing series Breaking Bond.
HOUSTON - You would think the savage murder of 80-year-old Rosalee Cook a year ago would have been a call for action for Harris County’s Criminal Justice System.
Instead, District Court judges pushed the revolving door even harder spitting out repeat violent offenders to wreak even more havoc. It’s kind of like Rosalee Cook was simply collateral damage of criminal justice reform, said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers.
On a bright sunny Saturday in May of 2020, Cook was stabbed to death while walking to her car in a Walgreens parking lot.
