Some people don’t understand the notion of marginal deterrence. This accused murderer was already facing three life sentences. Is the threat of a fourth life sentence going to matter? Three life sentences didn’t do it, but when he faces the fourth life sentence, that is just too much of a penalty? Seriously? This guy had nothing more to lose by committing another murder and stealing her car.
Jonathan Welch, the Detroit man who was released on a low bond after being charged with several felonies including torture, has now been charged with a fourth murder that happened prior to his original arrest in June.
Welch was charged Thursday with the murder of Natayla Morse, 24, whose body was found in a field on Detroit’s east side on June 4. Morse’s body was originally unidentified but later confirmed.
According to a release from the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, Welch is accused of killing Morse with ‘blunt force trauma’ to her head, then stealing her car and setting it on fire. . . .
Prosecutors then say 36th District Court Magistrate Dawn White set Welch’s bond at $100,000 / 10 percent cash surety. After posting the $10,000 bond, Welch walked out of jail and a few days later, his ex-girlfriend Zlayiah Frazier was dead. . . .
