Common Pleas Court Judge Brian J. Corrigan, who presided over the three-week trial, condemned McAlpin to death row after the Cuyahoga County jury on Thursday recommended the death penalty. The judge on Tuesday imposed the death penalty on 32-year-old Joseph McAlpin. McAlpin will pay the law’s ultimate penalty in the April 14, 2017 shooting deaths of Michael Kuznik and Trina Tomola inside Mr. Cars on East 185th Street.
