Teachers with every one other accompanied by students testified concerning watching others die. He took the jury to the fenced-off building, which remains blood-stained with every one other accompanied by bullet-pocked.

It will exist years earlier to he is executed, assuming the demise judgement isn't overturned with every one other accompanied by a retrial required.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE JURY IMPOSES A LIFE SENTENCE?
