USA - Indiana. Judge Susan Orth sentenced William Clyde Gibson to death

Floyd Superior Court Judge Susan Orth sentenced William Clyde Gibson to death for the murder of Stephanie Kirk. It was the 2nd death penalty for Gibson, who also was condemned last fall in the murder of Christine Whitis. Gibson, 56, White, had pleaded guilty to killing Kirk after jury selection in the case began, leading Orth to hear testimony this month on whether he should be sentenced to die. Kirk's body was found in April 2012, just days after police found Whitis' mutilated body in his garage. Both Kirk, 35, and Whitis, 75, were sexually assaulted after they were killed, police said. Gibson also has been sentenced to 65 years in prison after pleading guilty to the 2002 murder of Karen Hodella, whose remains were found along the Ohio River.
