USA - Delaware. A jury has voted to recommend the death penalty for Otis Phillips

A New Castle County jury has voted unanimously to recommend the death penalty for Otis Phillips, 38, Black, 1 of 2 gang members convicted of murder in a July 8, 2012 soccer tournament shooting. The same jury will hear arguments starting Monday on whether to recommend the death penalty for 23-year-old Jeffrey Phillips. The 2 defendants, who are not related, were convicted of murder in the death of tournament organizer Herman Curry, 47, and manslaughter in the death of 16-year-old player Alexander Kamara. This same jury last month found Otis Phillips was guilty of the second–degree murder of Christopher Palmer in 2008 and prosecutors had argued that on July 8, 2012 Phillips "executed" Curry in order to prevent him from testifying about the Palmer case. Authorities say an accomplice who was driving the getaway car for the 2 killers died after being hit by return gunfire from tournament spectators. Superior Court Judge Calvin L. Scott Jr. did not immediately set a sentencing date.
