USA - Alabama. A Cleburne County jury has recommended 11-1 death for Mark Dwyatt Brown

A Cleburne County jury has recommended 11-1 death for Mark Dwyatt Brown who was convicted of capital murder in the deaths of a family of 4 in 2005. The judge, who is not bound by the jury's recommended penalty, could later impose a sentence of life in prison without parole. On Feb. 8, 2005, Mark Brown and Shannon Brown, who are brothers, and Timothy Patrick Morris allegedly entered a home. Prosecutors say the 3 men bludgeoned 88-year-old Lena Benefield, and her sons, 69-year-old Reo, and 59-year-old Shable; and 49-year-old Durward to death with a baseball bat and set their house on fire. Shannon Brown and Morris will likely face trial in 2009.
