Has the whole nation heard this or is this just Connecticut news
Conn. man condemned to die for fatal home invasion - Yahoo! News
The story was on all the major news networks and the lead story on a few. That CT jury did the right thing. If they did not give him the death penalty for what he did (and a yet untried and unconvictied accomplice) to that family and those two little girls then why even have a death penalty. Like tmigala said it will take a long time for the sentence to be carried out.
It may not be so long of a wait - I understand that some prisons have a reputation for being quite punishing (peer to peer) on offenders who hurt kids.
