Prosecutors have opted against seeking the death penalty for Yordanis Cobos-Martinez in the grim case of motel manager Chandra Nagamallaiah’s murder. Allegations point to a fierce quarrel that culminated in Martinez allegedly beheading Nagamallaiah, with harrowing footage documenting the act. Should he be found guilty, Martinez will face life behind bars without the possibility of parole.
