Wilmington, Delaware:
Two men who shot a department store security guard execution-style in 1995 after he was going to testify against them in a theft case were given a second death sentence on Friday. They were originally given the sentence in 1997, but the sentence was dismissed in 2001 by the Delaware Supreme Court after finding the original judge had some sort of conflict.
Superior Court Judge Jerome O. Herlihy described the killing as "brutal, cold-blooded, uncalled-for execution of a witness... Few types of murders are more heinous."
