USA - Arizona. A jury re-sentenced Scott A. Lehr to death

A Maricopa County jury re-sentenced Scott A. Lehr to death. Lehr, 49, white, was convicted of the murders charges in separate trials in 1996 and 1997. A judge sentenced Lehr to death then, but the sentence was overturned in 2002 when the U.S. Supreme Court determined that only juries, and not judges, could sentence a defendant to death. Lehr was found guilty in 1997 for the murders of Margaret Christorf, killed in 1991, and Michelle Morales, killed in 1992. Today he received a death sentence for each. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict of death regarding the murder of Belinda Cronin, who was killed in 1992. In that case, Judge Andrew Klein will decide whether Lehr will be sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole or life in prison with a chance of parole after 25 years. Lehr became known as the "Baby Seat" rapist in 1991 and 1992 for his use of a baby seat in his car to lure 10 young girls and women. Lehr was also sentenced in 1997 to 17 consecutive life sentences on 32 counts of attempted murder, sexual assault and kidnapping.
