USA - Texas. A jury sentenced Mark Anthony Soliz, 30, Hispanic, to death

A Johnson County jury sentenced Mark Anthony Soliz, 30, Hispanic, to death in the fatal shooting of Nancy Weatherly, a 61-year-old woman, during a robbery on June 29, 2010 of her rural home. State District Judge William Bosworth read the sentence. Soliz is also facing a capital murder charge in Tarrant County in the death of Ruben Martinez, 28, who was fatally shot during a robbery the same day Weatherly was killed. Authorities say the 2 fatal shootings capped an 8-day crime spree that stretched across two counties and included at least 13 separate offenses, including several non-fatal shootings, burglary, robbery and car-jackings.
