FEDERAL JURY CONVICTS KILLEEN
MAN
OF ASSAULTING STEP-DAUGHTER ON FORT HOOD
United States Attorney Johnny Sutton announced that 40-year-old
Rosdolm T. Pierre-Louis faces up to 10 years in federal prison after a jury
convicted him this morning of assaulting his step daughter with a deadly weapon.
The jury acquitted Pierre-Louis of assaulting his ex-wife with intent to commit
murder.
According to court testimony provided by the victims, Lora Ann Madison and
Pierre-Louis were scheduled to appear in a child support court hearing on February
15, 2006. Early that morning, Madison, at home with her four children, experienced
a power outage. Attempting to determine the cause, Madison decided to check
the junction box on the outside of her Ft. Hood home. When Madison opened the
front door, she discovered Pierre-Louis crouched down, dressed in all black
clothing and wearing gloves. Pierre-Louis forcefully entered into the residence
and began assaulting Madison in an effort to prevent her from attending the
court hearing. Madison’s children intervened in an attempt to end the
attack, but were unsuccessful. During the assault, 18-year-old Patricia Robinson,
Madison’s oldest daughter and Pierre-Louis’ step daughter, was
struck twice in the face by the defendant with what she believed was a hammer.
Federal authorities arrested Pierre-Louis on February 16, 2006. He remains
in federal custody pending sentencing which is expected to occur next month.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation together with
the Criminal Investigation Division of the U.S. Army, Department of Defense.
Assistant United States Attorney Mark Frazier and Special Assistant United
States Attorney Samuel E. Gregory prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
