Two cellmates were heard fighting by the man in the adjacent cell for at least a half-hour, before one of them allegedly strangled the other to death.
DUBLIN — Two men had spent less than a day in their Santa Rita Jail cell together before one of them allegedly strangled the other to death during a fight that the man one cell over claimed lasted for at least a half-hour, according to testimony at a recent preliminary hearing.
Then there’s a statement allegedly made to police by the man who lived one cell over from Cochran and West when the homicide occurred. He reportedly told investigators that he heard loud evidence of a fight — including “hooting and hollering” — for at least a half hour before West was killed.
Cochran was in jail for an alleged parole violation and West was serving a brief sentence for auto burglary, according to court records. When deputies discovered the homicide, Cochran was on top of West, who was motionless and didn’t have a pulse, Deputy Michael Teves, who discovered West’s body, testified.
