USA - Texas. A jury sentenced Steven Thomas, 56, White, to death

1 MIN READ
A Williamson County jury sentenced Steven Thomas, 56, White, to death for a 1980 cold case solved with DNA evidence. The same jury on Monday convicted him of capital murder in the killing of 73-year-old Mildred McKinney. Thomas was charged in 2012 after investigators say his DNA that was obtained in a drug-related federal case matched evidence from the unsolved attack on McKinney. Investigators say the woman was sexually assaulted, beaten and strangled.
