Man gets life sentence for six murders
HAYWARD, Wis. - A Hmong immigrant convicted of murdering six deer hunters and attempting to kill two others after a trespassing dispute was sentenced to life in prison with no chance for parole.
On Tuesday, Judge Norman Yackel ordered Chai Soua Vang, 37, to serve six life prison terms, one after the other, guaranteeing he would never be freed from prison.
Yackel described Vang as a "time bomb ready to go off."
"These crimes are not isolated acts, but a pattern of anti-social conduct," he said.
Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager sought the maximum sentence for Vang, a father of seven children, arguing Vang could kill again, given his "explosive temperament" and lack of true remorse or regret.
Vang, a truck driver from St. Paul, Minn., was convicted on six counts of first-degree intentional homicide and three counts of attempted homicide in the Nov. 21 murders.

Vang was convicted of killing Robert Crotteau, his son Joey Crotteau, Denny Drew, Allan Laski, Jessica Willers and Mark Roidt.

Other RAs mentioned experiences such as being duct-taped into a room or being asked by residents to keep goldfish in the hall toilets. The worst Horner said she has had to deal with was moving furniture out of elevators that students had put in them or the occasional false fire alarm.
Kristin Barnett, Evergreen, Colo., freshman and a resident on Horner's floor, said that over Halloween weekend someone set off the fire alarm at 4 a.m. and the whole building had to clear out for an hour while everything was checked and secured.
All the resident assistants on campus spent a week before school started this semester training to handle possible disputes among residents, so they would be ready to handle them when they happened during the
"Katie was on duty at the time, and she had the job of checking everything and finding out who did it," Barnett said. "But she didn't pressure people to find out who did it; instead she gave them a safe place to go to talk about it."
Besides dealing with the occasional joke, fire alarm or party bust. Horner is responsible for mediating any possible disputes between roommates on her floor.
school year.
Horner is also in charge of organizing three programs per semester: one social, such as an outing to a game or restaurant; and two educational, such as a bulletin board or lessons. She recently hosted salsa-dancing lessons for the residents.
Horner said the job immediately put her in a position to be more responsible, not just for the residents on her floor but also for herself.
"Being an RA has made me both stronger and wiser. You really have to be sure of yourself in handling different things," Horner said. "I've definitely become more educated on problems and how to handle them."
Her job does not go unnoticed. Her residents recognize her responsibilities and dedication.
"I admire Katie for being willing to take a job that would put her in a position where she might not be well-liked because she has to watch over people," Barnett said.
Besides the responsibilities and time commitment, Horner said that she enjoyed her job and that she enjoyed her floor. She said she didn't seem to mind the occasional middle-of-the-night wake up or interruptions to her morning routine.
It's all routine in the life of an RA.
