the state Supreme Court ordered a new jury to decide whether Ivo Colon should die

the state Supreme Court ordered a new jury to decide whether Ivo Colon should die for beating and torturing 2-year-old Keriana Tellado on July 19, 1998. The high court upheld Colon's conviction. But it unanimously ruled that a jury cannot recommend the death penalty unless the jury finds beyond a reasonable doubt that aggravating factors in the murder outweigh factors that may mitigate its seriousness. Colon's jury was not adequately instructed about that responsibility, the court ruled. Colon, 24, was 18 when he bludgeoned a boy to death with a sledgehammer in 1997. Connecticut has not executed anybody since 1960, but serial killer Michael Ross is scheduled to die Jan. 26 at Osborn Correctional Institution in Somers.
