USA - Louisiana. A jury opted to give the death penalty to David Brown

A Lafourche Parish jury unanimously opted to give the death penalty to David Brown, 38, White. The same jury gave Brown the death penalty for the Nov. 4, 2012, slayings of 29-year-old Jacquelin Nieves and her daughters, 7-year-old Gabriela and 1-year-old Izabela. Prosecutors said Brown also sexually assaulted Jacquelin and Gabriela. A forensic pathologist who conducted the victims' autopsies determined Jacquelin and Izabela died from stab wounds, while Gabriela died of smoke inhalation.
