PEORIA, Ill. - U.S. prosecutors argued on Monday that an Illinois man who kidnapped, raped and murdered a Chinese graduate student two years ago should be executed, telling a jury that his crime was one of “calculated” cruelty.
“This was not an ordinary crime,” James Nelson, a prosecutor in the U.S. Department of Justice’s capital case division, told the jury. “It was cold, cruel and calculated.” She showed the jury photographs of Christensen in his youth dressed in his Boy Scouts uniform and his football uniform. Investigators were led to Christensen through surveillance video footage captured in Urbana, 130 miles south of Chicago, that showed Zhang getting into a black car that later was traced to Christensen.
