The mother of two who was strangled to the point she literally saw stars got a chance to tell her assailant exactly what she thinks of him in the moments before he was sentenced to 33 to 100 years in prison.
“I think you’re a shame to your family and friends,” Shyle Serrels told Martae Rose who stood a few feet away Thursday, May 14, in Kent County Circuit Court. “I know you feel nothing. I wish you felt something.”
Serrels was the first of two women assaulted by 21-year-old Rose between August and October 2014. The second victim, a woman who was six months pregnant at the time, was raped near Hall Street and South Division Avenue.
Rose, 21, pleaded guilty last month to first-degree criminal sexual conduct, unlawful imprisonment and assault with intent to rob in the October case and armed robbery in the August crime against Serrels.
Serrels, 38, said Rose attacked her as she left Rau’s Party Store. She was sitting in her car in Burton Heights when he demanded money from the woman saying he had a gun. At one point, he strangled her nearly to the point of unconsciousness before leaving by bicycle with her cash and credit cards.
The assault was just blocks from where the October rape would occur.
“You put me through hell. … I have nightmares of being strangled,” Serrels told Rose in court Thursday. “What kind of 21-year-old punk are you? You’re not a man, you’re a kid, and I hope you lose the best years of your life — your 20s, your 30s, your 40s — because you are a danger to women.
“You don’t pick on men. You pick on vulnerable women.”
