A judge sentenced an Alaska man to death by lethal injection for last year's brutal slaying of 19-year-old Chester A. Poage of Spearfish. Briley Piper, 20, had earlier pleaded guilty to murder, kidnapping and other charges. But the plea was not enough to spare him from capital punishment. In issuing the sentence, Circuit Judge Warren Johnson said the photos from the crime were some of the worst he had ever seen. He set Piper's execution for the week of Aug. 6, but that will be delayed because a state Supreme Court review is automatic. Piper apologized to Poage's family and said he will take whatever sentence he gets. Piper is the 4th man on South Dakota's death row.
