Brian Cooper brutally murdered Alicia Bramfield, a twenty-one-year-old retail employee who was six and a half months pregnant, following a wedding in Wisconsin. After strangling the victim and her unborn child, the perpetrator committed sexual assault of a corpse and subsequently confessed to authorities at a local gas station. During his initial court proceedings, the killer attempted to use a voluntary intoxication defense, which ultimately resulted in a deadlocked jury and a mistrial. Seeking justice, the victim's grieving mother successfully campaigned to change state laws regarding alcohol impairment as a legal excuse. In a subsequent retrial, a new jury rejected the murderer's claims and convicted him of first-degree intentional homicide, leading to consecutive life sentences.
