Johnson County prosecutors charged Jason Cott yesterday with capital murder in the death of his pregnant wife, Angela Cott.
Filing the capital murder charge allows prosecutors to seek the death penalty against the 30-year-old Jason Cott for the deaths of Angela Cott, 29, and her unborn baby, under Alexa's Law, which allows prosecutors to charge a person with wounding or killing an unborn child in an attack on the mother.
The capital murder charge is in addition to two counts of first-degree
murder filed against Jason Cott for allegedly strangling his wife to
death inside a hotel room at the Lenexa Knights Inn and dumping her
half-clothed body on the side of U.S. Highway 69
near Louisburg.
Prosecutors have also charged Alexis Cruz Leza with aiding a felon for allegedly helping Cott dump his wife's body.
A scheduling conference is scheduled for February 10.

I was Jason's room-mate in jail and also was in the same unit with him in work release. I do acknowledge I was in jail and what I did to get there was wrong but Jason was a very sick person. I challenge anyone defending him to live with him for more than a week and tell me one good thing about the guy. I don't think he deserves the death penalty. Under the law of the old testament, an eye for an eye yes. But the new testament states the exact opposite. I think he should be condemned to life in prison without possibility of parole if he is guilty. I'm not saying he is not, but that's up to a jury of our peers to decide. I don't believe he should get the easy way out and get an injection in his arm that makes him go into a happy sleep. He deserves to sit in prison for his natural born life to suffer and live at the mercy of his peers. I'm sure they will take care of him. I mean he not only killed his wife but her unborn baby too.

To answer your question, there son was with his grandparents and the parents did have rights to there son. They were just in between homes so the grandparents were taken care of him for the time being.
Would some one amnswer this question where was the son. I have heard foster care and I have heard grand parents had him that the parents had no rights to him???????????????
Misty Misty Misty, Where do I even began, for what its worth and for what I know first hand about you being his first wife, you have no business being judgmental unless you want to be judgeded yourself. But since you made your comment, I take it as though you want to be judged. I have known both Angie and Jason a lot longer then I have known you but in the same hand I know worse about you and your life style then both of theres combined. I know that Jason is a loving, caring, husband and a father. I know that Angie loved her son and husband with all of her heart. I know that what has happened has been a heart breaking situation to all those involed and all parties involved are inoccent till proven guilty. If you want to judge those around you first you must judge yourself. I must say that Angie and Jasons child would be proud to say that he had loving and supportive parents. As for the children that you bared they may have there own choice of words about you and there lifestyle. Not every child is blessed by having 2 loving parents but every child will grow up to know who was most impressionable in thier lives. I am not a judgmental person, for we all have or flaws but for what its worth dont advertise yourself as having no flaws. Im not the one to air dirty laundry but you should take the time to look at yourself and decide if you want all your skelatons out of your closet before you air you opion of someone else. I send my prayers out to all the families that have been effected by this lose. From a concerned reader that feels for both sides of this tradity.
Misty, from what I know about you....You are NO better then he is. You have been caught in whore houses with your daughter, strung out on drugs to the point that no one could wake you up. The law had to take your daughter home. When you and him were married you tried to run him over with you alls car, you used your daughter as a sheild against a dog coming toward you.
YOU of all people have no room to make judgment on ANY one else. You have no idea what happen to cause this terrible thing to have happen, so keep YOUR opions to your self, After all you don't have custody of YOUR kids either, due to being a terrible parent! concerned reader!
