A Marion County jury unanimously recommended that both Bruce and Joshua Turnidge be put to death. Bruce Turnidge, 59, and Joshua Turnidge, 34, both white, are father and son. Judge Tom Hart will formally sentence the men Jan. 24. They were convicted Dec. 8 on 18 counts each of aggravated murder and other charges in the December 12, 2008 bombing at a bank. The homemade bomb killed state police bomb technician William Hakim, who was trying to dismantle it, and Woodburn Police Capt. Tom Tennant, who was helping. Father and son turned on each other in trial, each pointing the finger at the other for building and planting the bomb, which prosecutors said was part of a plan to rob the bank. Since 1962, only two condemned inmates have been executed in Oregon. The state has 34 men on death row.
