Killer of Indian American cab driver sentenced to life in prison

Jacob Corban Coleman, 21, who pleaded guilty to the stabbing death of Gagandeep Singh of Spokane, a cab driver in North Idaho was sentenced to life in prison.
Prosecutors dropped the death penalty as part of a plea deal. Spokane picked him up at the Spokane International Airport.
Bonner County Sheriff officials said Coleman, 19 at the time, flew from Seattle to Spokane with the intention of starting a new semester at college. Coleman said he was denied entry to the class, became angry and began to have homicidal thoughts, according to KREM2 news.
Singh drove him about 75 miles. Coleman bought a knife during a stop.
Singh stopped in Kootenai, Idaho, when it became clear Coleman didn't have a destination. Police say Coleman then stabbed Singh, who died at the scene.
A psychologist testified that Coleman has ‘pervasive maladaptive personality disorder.’ He said this affects Coleman’s ability to function socially and that people with the disorder may be ‘emotionally aloof.’
‘I'm f----- up, mentally,’ Coleman said as he addressed the court and the victim's family.
Coleman also said he feels he can be rehabilitated in prison.
During the court proceedings, Coleman grabbed the microphone and had somewhat of an outburst. Bailiffs had to restrain and handcuff him.
Singh's mother gave a victim impact statement in court while Singh's sister-in-law translated for her. The family sobbed while describing their son as a ‘smart dreamer with a future. This sinner took it all away from us,’ his mother said.
Signh’s brother, sitting across from Coleman, called him a monster and a “piece of s---". He said Signh was a helpful and selfless person, and his death shattered their family.
