Brazilian prosecutor believed Danelo Cavalcante escaped Pennsylvania prison to face charge in 'lenient' Brazil
Fox News
The Brazilian prosecutor over Danelo Calvacante's homicide case in Tocantins thought the convicted killer facing life in a U.S. prison was escaping to face a lighter sentence in Brazil.
"I thought he wanted to escape to Brazil," Alamy said. "He would have to comply with the prison rules here, which are much more lenient."
If convicted in Brazil, Cavalcante faces a maximum of 30 years in prison since the country does not hand down life sentences and could possibly be released after about 12 years for good behavior, Alamy said.
