"There were also indications that substantial steps were taken to clean up the crime scene," the office wrote.

A trans-identified male has pleaded guilty to the brutal murder of a 12-year-old girl in Pennsylvania, and will spend at least 15 years in prison.
Ash Cooper, who was initially charged as Joshua Cooper but began transitioning after the arrest, admitted to the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Morgan Connors in Cooper’s family’s Bensalem, Pennsylvania trailer in November of 2022, the Daily Mail reports.
In a press release, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said the judge sentenced Cooper to 15 to 40 years in state prison and a consecutive seven-year sentence of probation. Cooper, who is now 18, was also ordered to "follow all the rules and recommendations of adult probation and parole and undergo psychological and psychiatric evaluations."

He probably "transitioned" so he could avoid going to male prison where he likely would get booty bumped for the next 15 years. :yowsa:

Either that or he thought that the latest 'sacred cow' identity would be a get out of jail free card. In years past, though, the idea that someone thought they could change their sex would have been cause to consider them to have a psychiatric disability, and that could have been used by the defense. Must be another 'unintended consequence'...

Unless he legally changed his name, he's still Joshua Cooper. And no matter what else he may do, he's still male.
