USA - Indiana. A jury sentenced Jeffrey Alan Weisheit, 37, White, to death

A Clark County jury sentenced Jeffrey Alan Weisheit, 37, White, to death. Weisheit was on trial for setting fire to his own home on April 10, 2010 while his then-girlfriend's children, 5-year-old Caleb Lynch and 8-year-old Alyssa Lynch, were inside. The jurors' unanimous verdict is only a recommendation for Judge Daniel Moore, who scheduled a sentencing hearing for July 11 in Clark County Circuit Court No. 1. Through the testimonies of those who conducted the children's autopsies and the processes to confirm their identity through dental records, it was determined Caleb Lynch had his arms bound by duct tape and his mouth had been stuffed with a 12-inch-by-12-inch dish cloth and covered with duct tape before the fire took his and his sister's lives. During his testimony Weisheit told the jurors he had used duct tape to bound the boy, but said he did not set fire to the home, nor was there any fire at the home when he left the residence.
