Prince Watson, 19, pleaded guilty to first-degree
murder, was sentenced to 32 years in prison for shoving Katona-King down the
stairs of a CTA station to her death while he was fleeing with a stolen iPhone
in March 2011.
Watson’s lawyer read a letter written by her client in
which he apologized to Katona-King’s family, saying he never meant to kill
anyone and that he had thought “snatching iPhones was the safest way to support
myself.”
“All I wanted to do was snatch iPhones and get away,” Watson’s letter read.
“I know I hurt your family tremendously. … Please forgive me.”
Watson was arrested five months after he knocked Katona-King to her death at
the Fullerton Avenue "L" station, when he was apprehended following another
iPhone robbery on a CTA train. He pleaded guilty today to two counts of robbery
in addition to murder. Judge James Linn sentenced him to the 32-year prison term
as part of a plea deal worked out among the lawyers.

Nigger we should hang him
No asshole hang yourself .You racist pig.
If he was white, it would have been considered involuntary...what your selves black folks. Youll be the example.
He sent a lady to her death. Funny that the victim also had a hard knock life story of abuse by parents, alcoholism, homelessnes and hunger, but she chose to change her lot and help others while he chose to be a rob and injure others w no remorse because he didnt mean too. Made an example of I think not...
Where are all the people who say that was a life she didnt deserve that she wasnt doing nothing bad? They are silent and I know why, but do they realuze why they are silent? Read 11:52pm seeting w hate and no sympathy because of her color-she must have deserved it. Keep showing your true colors and wondering why there is no unity, no dialogue about what is dividing our country, it takes two sides to make an agreement, to agree no one should die, by gunfire, by random shove down the stairs or any other act of hate or purpose.
This was a good person who did harm to no one, who helped her fellow man more than others, maybe more than anyone reading or posting here and all anyone can say is: unfair sentance? Or he was black who cares? When will it end? When will the hate end when both sides are seething
So sad an innocent person had to die because this child's patents failed tp do thier job.
This woman didnt dersevr to die.
He made a bad choice, his color is of little matter.
His choice took the life of an innocent who only sought to better this city.
