Random Task Faces The Death Penalty

Joe Son, who played Random Task in Austin Powers has been charged with murder in the death of his cellmate. Joe had been serving a life sentence for torturing a woman killed his cell mate back in 2011. After two years someone finally got around to charging him for murder. I know, I know but the victim was in jail for child molesting so there was not a whole lot of haste in charging the killer. Still though two years does seem like a long time.

Joe Son faces the death penalty but since he's already in jail for life anyway he will probably plead guilty in a deal which will continue seeing him spend life in prison. If he pleads not guilty the state would have to have a trial and spend all that money and then have years and years of appeals and they would be paying for his defense too so look for a deal although at the pace this case is proceeding it probably won't happen until 2015 and no one will hear about it until 2017.
