May 29 – Nashville Criminal Court Division 1 Judge, the Honorable Steve Dozier, sentenced convicted killer Albert Mustapha to a whopping 205-year-sentence recently in the 2017 murders of a mother and son in Nashville.  Nashville District Attorney Prosecutors Wesley King and Kendall Ponchillia secured 7 guilty verdicts against Mustapha back in February with sentencing slated for just a few days ago.  Mustapha was convicted of killing a young man named Osmani Munongerwa and his mother in their home in July of 2017.   Mustapha was convicted in Murfreesboro last year of another count of First Degree Murder.  Judge Dozier ruled all of the murder convictions (which carry 60 years each) must be served consecutively, as well as an additional 25 years for Especially Aggravated Robbery.

Mustapha’s total time behind bars was set at 205 years.

Convicted Killer Albert Mustapha

Nashville, TN – In what’s believed to be the first case of its kind to go to a jury in Davidson County, a Nashville home builder has been found Guilty of Home Improvement Services Fraud.  Defendant Mark Cremeans faces up to 12 years in prison for the Class B Felony.  Prosecutors Paul DeWitt and Mary Griffin poured over documents and records to show Cremeans failed to refund any money to the victims when a letter asking for a refund for the thousands of dollars spent came back as undeliverable.  This failure to refund any money is what constituted the fraud, and what Cremeans was convicted on.  The victims spent years living with relatives while their house was ‘being repaired’, only to experience delays, setbacks, and eventually, being ignored completely by Cremeans.  Criminal Court Judge Angelita Dalton oversaw the complicated case and stated that it may set legal precedent in Tennessee for this type of crime.  Sentencing for the former home builder will be in August.
