Lancaster County Attorney Gary Lacey announced that he would not seek the death penalty against Randolph Reeves at an upcoming resentencing hearing. Reeves, a Native American, was convicted and sentenced to death in Nebraska in 1981 for killing two women. The case drew national attention when some of the family members of the victims began actively opposing his execution, which was scheduled for January 12, 1999. The execution was stayed by the state Supreme Court, which ordered a new sentencing hearing for Reeves.
