William Goodman will be sentenced Tuesday at 9 a.m. in Dallas County Circuit Court for role in the beating, kidnapping and attempted murder of Wallace Daniels on Nov. 8, 2010.

District Attorney Michael Jackson said Goodman is expected to receive a life sentence on charges of attempted murder, kidnapping and first degree robbery, as well as a 20-year sentence for theft.

Goodman, along with Jonathan Samuel Wayne Pitts, 24, were arrested last year after they knocked on the door of Daniels’ home, and asked him to take them to get some gasoline.

When Daniels refused, the suspects kicked open the door and hit the victim with something, forcing the elderly man to his knees.

The attackers ripped apart some extension cords, tied up the victim and put him in his truck, the blue 1992 Chevrolet.

Once they arrived at a large lake on Arrowhead Road, Goodman and Pitts attempted to cut Daniels’ throat, stabbed him in the neck and back, and held him under water until they believed he was dead.

Daniels pretended to be unconscious and when Goodman and Pitts left, he was able to crawl to safety.

Pitts received 35 years for attempted murder, 35 years for kidnapping first degree and 10 years for the theft charges after pleading guilty last in July.
