Jurors have sentenced Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. to death for the Nov. 22, 2003 killing of Dru Sjodin, 22. The same federal jury convicted Rodriguez, 53, last month of kidnapping resulting in Sjodin's death.
Sjodin disappeared from a shopping mall parking lot in November 2003. Her body was found the following April in a ravine in Minnesota. Authorities said she was beaten, raped and stabbed. Rodriguez had served more than 20 years for assaults on 3 women in 1975 and 1980. It's North Dakota's 1st death-penalty case in nearly 100 years. North Dakota does not have the death penalty but it is allowed in federal cases.
