ALEXANDER RASHAD HAMILTON | Killer Of Pittsburgh Officer Said Death Penalty Is No Problem … "Let me get on my way, plain and simple." | Autographed Letter, Signed
LongfellowSerenade 30
Alexander Rashad Hamilton was involved in a tragic incident that led to the shooting death of a Pittsburgh police officer. Here are the details: In 2005, when Hamilton was just four days shy of his 18th birthday, he participated in planning a store robbery. During the robbery, his cohort, Andrew Moffett, fatally shot Officer Larry Lasater while attempting to arrest them. Moffett was convicted of murdering Officer Lasater and sentenced to life in prison in 2008. However, because Moffett was underage at the time of the crime, a recent state law allows him to receive a parole hearing in 2039, after serving 25 years. Moffett is now requesting to be re-sentenced as a juvenile, which could lead to his immediate release if granted. Hamilton, on the other hand, was sentenced to death and remains on death row. His actions during the robbery had severe consequences, and he has been held accountable for his role in the tragic incident. The case highlights the complexities of sentencing and the impact of age and maturity on legal decisions. Moffett's repeated attempts at re-sentencing have caused additional pain for Officer Lasater's family, who have endured multiple hearings over the years. The legal system must carefully consider the circumstances and individual factors when determining appropriate sentences for such cases.

The killer of a Pittsburgh police officer said in court Friday that he was fine with being sentenced to death but had no interest in hearing from the slain man's family, telling a judge, "Let me get on my way."
"I'm not asking for sympathy," Alexander Hamilton, 20, said in a Martinez courtroom before formally being sentenced to die for killing Officer Larry Lasater after robbing a bank in 2005. "I got the death penalty. I ain't got no problem with that."
But he told Judge Laurel Brady of Contra Costa County Superior Court that he didn't see any point for testimony by the slain officer's family. "Let me get on my way, plain and simple," he said.
Lasater's widow, Jo Ann Lasater, blasted Hamilton for showing no remorse, adding that she would never be able to forgive him for killing her husband and the father of her young son, Cody, who was born two months after the officer was killed.
"My son has to grow up in a world where there are people out there like you," she said in addressing the court. "Cody now has to grow up without his father to guide him. You are simply an evil man not worthy to be in society."
Larry Lasater's mother, Phyllis Loya, said she thinks constantly about the sacrifices made by her son and Pittsburgh police Inspector Ray Giacomelli, who was gunned down in 2003 while investigating a homicide.
When her son and Giacomelli pinned on their badges to go to work, "that's an act of courage," Loya said. "It's an act of courage because of people like Alexander Hamilton, who feels a sense of entitlement that leads him to go into a bank, wave a gun and threaten a teller and take money instead of earning it."
Loya said Hamilton "assassinated, executed and ambushed my son."
Hamilton did not look at Loya or Lasater as they spoke in a hearing attended by several Pittsburgh police officers, including Chief Aaron Baker.
A jury convicted Hamilton of first-degree murder and robbery Aug. 13. Hamilton's attorneys, Robin Lipetzky and Kim Kupferer, argued unsuccessfully Friday for him to be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
In sentencing Hamilton to die by lethal injection, Brady said Hamilton committed a "cold, calculated act." Rejecting claims by the defense that Hamilton's age should spare him the death penalty, the judge said his actions "belied his chronological age."
Lasater had been with the Pittsburgh Police Department three years when he was shot to death April 23, 2005, as he chased Hamilton and Andrew Moffett. The men had just robbed a Wells Fargo branch in a Raley's supermarket in Pittsburgh.
The two crashed a stolen getaway car and hid along the Delta de Anza Regional Trail. Lasater came across Moffett in a field but didn't see Hamilton lying in the brush and armed with a 9mm Glock semiautomatic pistol.
Hamilton fired four shots, with the first hitting the officer in the neck.
Moffett, 20, was convicted of murder and other crimes but is not eligible for the death penalty because he was 17 at the time. He faces life in prison.ii
