In Ventura, Judge Donald Coleman sentenced Socorro Caro, 44, to death for killing 3 of her sons ages 5, 8 and 11 by shooting them with a handgun as they slept on. A 4th infant son was unharmed. She then shot herself in the head but survived, "She was angry and lashed out and used these children as symbolic pawns to get revenge on her husband," authorities said. A jury convicted Caro in November of 3 counts of 1st-degree murder for the Nov. 22, 1999 killings. Jurors also recommended the death penalty.
