Summary

Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, received a 23-month prison sentence for falsely accusing Daniel Pierson of attempted rape and kidnapping in Pennsylvania, leading to his wrongful month-long incarceration.

Urumova pled guilty to seven misdemeanors, including filing false reports and fabricating evidence.

Investigators uncovered her lie after finding inconsistencies in surveillance footage. She admitted she targeted Pierson because she had seen him before.

Alongside jail time, she must pay $3,600 in restitution, undergo a mental health evaluation, and serve probation. Prosecutors warned the false claim damaged public trust and harmed real victims.

Depends. On where the murder was committed and the circumstances. For example, murdering 20 + brown people for no reason other than racist hate isn't punishable by death. Whereas shooting one wealthy person who is responsible for untold deaths, pain, and misery by denying the victims medical most definitely is a death penalty offense.

I'm pretty sure that any murder is a death sentence.

(Hint: check your assumptions.)

This is just blatantly untrue. A lot of places don't even have the death penalty at all???

I'm confused why you're stuck on the death aspect of this. Asking why someone would deserve life in prison is also a solid question but you're stuck on the death penalty... Which is banned in half of the world.

Fantastic answer this clears up everything I'm so glad you commented and gave exactly what I was looking for. You're so smart. The death penalty is everywhere in all places at all times. Death to those who aren't death penalty. You so right.

Also I'm assuming I watched Blade a bit ago
