January 16, 2019 - Allen CASHE Sentenced to Life for First Degree Premeditated Murder and Attempted Murder

Today (Jan 16) ALLEN CASHE (33) was sentenced to Life in the Department of Corrections for two (2) counts of First Degree Premeditated Murder (CF), four (4) counts of Attempted First Degree Premeditated Murder (LF), and one (1) count of Attempted First Degree Murder (LF) in connection with the March 27, 2017 murders of Latina Herring and Branden Christian, and the attempted murders of Bertis Herring, Brendan Christian, Lazaro Paredes, and Rakeya Jackson.

Attorneys for CASHE offered to plea to all counts in exchange for the State withdrawing its intent to pursue the death penalty. Prosecutors conferred with the victims, Herring family members, and our law enforcement partners to obtain their input prior to accepting the plea. The agreement also avoided the necessity of having Latina Herring's 9 year old son testify at trial.

While no amont of incarceration can account for the senseless and brutal actions of the defendant, it is our sincere desire that Allen CASHE, spending the rest of his natural life in prision, will provide some closure and deliver justice on behalf of the Herring family, and all of the surviving victims.
