OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — Relatives of the three people fatally shot by a white supremacist outside Jewish sites in Kansas are commending jurors for recommending a death sentence.
A Johnson County jury came to the decision Tuesday in the trial of 74-year-old Frazier Glenn Miller Jr.
The same jury convicted Miller of capital murder last week.
Miller has repeatedly admitted killing 69-year-old William Corporon; Corporon’s 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood; and Terri LaManno in April 2014. They were shot at two different locations in Overland Park.
After the sentence was read, Tony Corporon, William Corporon’s son, said he’d just “witnessed justice in action.”
Terri LaManno’s husband, William LaManno, also said the criminal justice system worked and “the people of Kansas have spoken loud and clear.”
The judge overseeing the trial will now decide whether to follow the jury’s sentencing recommendation.
