| Killer Gets Death Penalty in CT |
|
http://www.courant.com/community/cheshire/cheshire-home... 'A Superior Court jury today sentenced Steven Hayes to death for the murders of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughters, Hayley and Michaela, at their Cheshire home in July 2007. Outside the courthouse after the verdict, Hawke-Petit's father, the Rev. Richard Hawke, said "There are some people who do not deserve to live in God's world." Dr. William Petit Jr., who survived the brutal attack on his family, said "This is a verdict for justice." But, he said, as the verdict was read, "I was really thinking of the tremendous loss … I was sad for the loss we have all suffered." more at link
