USA - Alabama. Jurors recommended the death penalty for John DeBlase

Jurors in Mobile County recommended 10-2 the death penalty for John DeBlase, 31, White. Circuit Judge Rick Stout has set his sentencing for Dec. 11. DeBlase was convicted last week of capital murder in the deaths of his 4-year-old daughter Natalie and his 3-year-old son Chase. Investigators have said the children were strangled and their bodies were buried. DeBlase and his common-law wife Heather Keaton have each blamed each other for the children's deaths. Keaton has also been charged in the case and is expected to go to trial at a later date.
