Man Convicted in Alabama for Slaying 4 Year Old
In Columbiana Alabama on June 27 29 year old Cooper Drake was found guilty by a circuit court jury of fatally harming Dale Holley a 4 year old boy. Judge W W Wallace sentenced Drake to death with execution set for August 3 pending Alabama Supreme Court review. Drake also faces an indictment for injuring Dale’s mother Kathleen Holley 37. The Holleys accuse Drake of forcing entry at their isolated Calera area home. Drake claims Kathleen consented and she struck the child. Drake was captured by a large posse 24 hours after the incident and had recently been released from federal custody for a prior attempted incident.
