A Clark County jury sentenced Will Sitton, 53, White, to death. According to prosecutors, Sitton, Sitton's girlfriend, Jacquie Schafer (39), and his brother, Robert (39) beated to death Brian Haskell, 68, during an Oct. 29, 2009 home invasion. A jury of 8 women and 4 men found that aggravating factors in Sitton's past - 3 rape convictions, an attempted murder conviction, an attempted arson, a DUI, along with his checkered behavior behind bars - outweighed mitigating factors that could have spared him from capital punishment, including pleas from his mother and his ex-wife. The same jury convicted Sitton and Schafer of 1st-degree murder. Schafer, 39, is not facing the death penalty and is scheduled to be sentenced in December. Robert Sitton, 39, pleaded guilty to 2nd-degree murder in 2010 and testified against his brother at trial.
