McDuff was convicted of multiple murders, sentenced to death, his death sentence was commuted to life in prison, and he was then released. After his release, he started a new killing spree. He was convicted again and that time his death sentence was carried out.
Lucas was also sentenced to death and his death sentence was also commuted to life in prison. Fortunately, he died of heart failure in prison before he could be released.
Thank you for adding this.
I could not remember the details in my rush to post and get out of the house.
