Judge Mike Ward took the Nov. 1 Greenwood County jury's recommendation and gave Cheever the sentence. Although he was sentenced to death, it will likely be a very long time before Cheever is executed. Kansas has not executed a prisoner since 1965.
There are currently 10 people sentenced to death in Kansas, including Cheever. However, none of those cases has made it past the automatic review of the Kansas Supreme Court.
