Former Cop Daniel Holtzclaw will serve ALL 263 years for Sexual Assaulting Black Women

From Colorlines

Moments ago, an Oklahoma City judge sentenced former police officer Daniel Holtzclaw to 263 years for the rape and sexual assault of eight Black women and girls. The sentence will run consecutively. 

Holtzclaw was found guilty in December, with the jury convicting him of 18 of a possible 36 charges of first-degree rape, second-degree rape, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy, procuring lewd exhibition, indecent exposure, burglary and stalking. The jury agreed with prosecutors who argued that Holtzclaw, who is White and Japanese, specifically sought out Black women in poor areas and intimidated them into keeping his crimes a secret. The all-White jury recommended 263 years of prison time.

Before the sentencing, Daniel's team tried to get him another trial. However, the judge said NOPE!

Serial Rapist Daniel Holtzclaw has been found GUILTY.

Daniel Holtzclaw was an Oklahoma cop who raped and sexual assaulted 13 women... Black women. Many of them didn't speak up because they didn't think anyone would listen to them. One woman said that she's Black, so she knew no one would care.

Many of us watched in fear as the case came together, especially when the court chose an all White jury. I have to admit, like the hopeless woman, I thought the same thing. Black women in these type of cases never win and usually get blamed for everything.

But this time, she and I was wrong (Thank somebody's God). Daniel was found guilty of 18 counts of rape - first and second degree, which includes burglary, stalking, indecent exposure, sexual battery, forcible oral sodomy. Daniel face up to 263 years in prison. Sentencing will take place next month.
