Randy Schoenwetter, 21, should be executed for the stabbing deaths in 2000 of a 10-year-old girl and her father, jurors recommended. Circuit Judge John "Jack" Griesbaum is not bound by the jury's recommendation but is required to give "great weight" to its decision. Actual sentencing will take place at a later hearing. The jury, which could have recommended a life sentence without parole, voted 10-2 in favor of imposing the death sentence for the murder of Virginia Friskey, and 9-3 in favor of death for the murder of Ronald Friskey.
