in Taveres, Circuit Judge T. Michael Johnson ruled that Jason Lee Wheeler, 31, should be executed for the February 9, 2005 killing of policeman Wayne Koester.
Jurors on May 24 (see) had recommended the death penalty.
"I honestly wanted life," said Koester's 15-year-old daughter, Amber. "No child should lose their dad. No child should ever have to go through what my brother and I have had to go through — losing our dad."
