Don’t need the death penalty. He’ll be killed in prison within a year.
The DA was talking two murder charges but they are still searching for a murder weapon. From what I have read, they didn't find any "foreign" i.e. non-family DNA or finger prints at the scene of the murder. The DA said they were hoping to charge him this coming week but they are going to need more evidence and/or outside testimony to place him at the murder scene and a better motive than a planned abduction I think?
Lots of unanswered questions remaining why he kicks in the front door and murders both parents if abduction of the girl was his goal?
