Self-styled Bonnie and Clyde bandit Laquan Sharelle Brown today was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole plus 85 years for her convictions on multiple charges stemming from a 2014 crime spree that left a Savannah man dead. Chatham County Superior Court Judge Louisa Abbot called the case “one of the most chilling cases I’ve ever witnessed as a judge.” “The lack of remorse is really, again, I can only say, chilling,” Abbot said. She said Brown would be “a danger in the future”and showed no evidence that rehabilitation would be effective. Assistant District Attorney Christy Barker urged the judge to impose a sentence of life without parole, noting that the “crimes continue with a murder and continue with the same level of violence.” The life without parole sentence was for the murder of Ivory Carter, 51, of a gunshot wound July 30, 2014, near Hampstead Avenue. She said that Brown’s conduct had been to “suck a lot of people in and it worked” including three of the victims in the case. Brown only apologized after she was convicted, adding what the defense called a confession “is not a confession of any kind.” “She was boss of this situation,” Barker said, adding that “she plans to get out and do it again.” In one of several witness impact statements Barker read in court, Brenda Pone, victim Ivory Carter’s aunt, said “there is no room in society for anyone who has not regard for life.
