USA - Kansas. A jury recommended the death penalty for Gary Kleypas

A jury recommended the death penalty for Gary Kleypas. Kleypas was convicted in 1997 of capital murder in the March 1996 death of 20-year-old Carrie Williams. Formal sentencing by Crawford County District Judge Donald Noland will take place in November, but an exact date has not been set. It wasn't the first time a jury has recommended capital punishment for Kleypas, 53. The Kansas Supreme Court overturned a first death sentence in December 2001, concluding the law did not give jurors enough guidance to determine when to impose a death sentence. When Kleypas killed Williams, he already was on parole for a 1977 murder in Missouri.
