The Florida man who senselessly murdered four people at random in November 2017 pleaded guilty to the killings Monday and avoided the death penalty in doing so. Howell Emanuel “Trai” Donaldson, dubbed the Seminole Heights serial killer, shot three men and one woman in the unexplained killing spree before giving his manager at McDonald’s the murder weapon, which led to his arrest. The judge gave Donaldson four sentences of life in prison without the possibility of parole for the deadly shootings.

Future President of the ACLU
And he'll get out and do it again
Killers kill and live: while the victims rot in the ground!
MAKE MURDER A CRIME IN THIS PUSSYASS COUNTRY. THE KILLER DIES.PERIOD. SEE HOW PUNISHMENT WORKS??? LIFE IN PRISON, AIN'T THE ANSWER.
That was so senseless, AGAIN REST IN PEACE TO THOSE 4 PEOPLE
He got what he wanted he took the plea deal to avoid the death penalty and they gave him no death penalty. He was able to choose his fate while the people he murdered had no choice in their’s. One thing social media and outlets like this one has shown me is how much the courts cater to brutal violent criminals who would harm any of you in a second while innocent non violent people get barely any justice.
Firing squad
He doesn’t deserve to see the light of day.
When is the last time ANYONE has been given the Death Penalty in America????
I hope this bring SOME peace to the victims families
Why? Get rid of horrible people to make room for the next… unfortunately its the truth
BROKEN SYSTEM……put murdering monsters down like a dog. People will think twice before murdering anyone.
It should be law in ALL states.
It's to bad he didn't get the Death Penalty murdering 4 people is NOT justifie for the family
Our legal system, with a bunch of women in charge, once again shows it’s a complete joke.
Hey it’s the people who’s lives matter murdering again
I live In Tampa. This punk terrorized our city. He is beyond guilty and cost us millions of dollars finding him. He targeted all 4 victims. He should have been immediately brought outside to the green and been …… well you all know. And shame on crime stoppers for not wanting to pay out the reward.
I clearly recall locking myself in my home. Getting two Rottweiler and friends stay with me at all time.
He is evil, this is not mental illness. I pray for his family too. His family names is smeared.
This is why we have the death penalty in this state. Take this piece of gidh and Nicholas Cruz and say good night.
I was called for jury duty today May 2. I called last night and said anyone numbered higher than 225 must not report, I was number 545. I would have been tossed off this case if that's why I was summoned. Tampa strong ……….. thanks to Tampa police department and the manager at McDonald's in Ybor city who turn over the gun to the proper authorities.
Imagine its your job to defend this guy
Dont forget to kneel Murica
Why did he do it?
he killed 4 people in florida but he will live while darryl barwick will die tomorrow for 1 murder, everything is normal ? OK…..
Life sentence is good. Death would be mercy because we don't know what comes after….what if on a level we can't understand what happens after death is better than life….nobody's come back to tell us.
My English sucks. So he goes to prison for 25 years? If yes, he killed 4 people right, so 25÷4=6.25 years per person he killed. Isnt his punishment a bit too soft?
It's such a shame that mentally I'll people get sent to prison instead of hospital for treatment
Gosh….he himself does not want to die, he values HIS life but murdered 3 others??? His life is so precious to himself he rather be locked up in prison til death vs getting the death penalty.
The victim's families should be the ones to decide if he gets to avoid the penalty or not. If no families, then a jury should decide his fate.
What a evil, wicked, disgusting monster. I hope he rots in – – – -
State sponsored murder is still murder. Life in prison was the right decision.
The cameraman.. ugh
Hopefully Biden doesn't pardon him.
When the dust settles he will appeal his sentence, guilty plea or not.
Now he gets to live nice and old and by that time he will be at peace with death. The people he claimed didn't get that luxury. Didn't get that choice.
He’s a spree killer. Not a serial killer.
For those wishing the death penalty, you got to understand that the death penalty would actually be a “merciful” death for this evil man. The DP has no effect on crime unless it’s used on people who are afraid to die. He is not afraid to die and he should live in pain and suffering for the rest of his life for what he did!
He doesn’t deserve to see the light of day again.
WHY DOES HE GET A CHOICE
!! WHY??? HIS VICTIMS GOT NO CHOICE KILL HIM
An eye for an eye?
And this is why death sentences should be mandatory
It's OK. Jail will likely pick up the slack on that missed penalty.
Context?
