DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A judge sentenced two men to death Thursday for the bloody beating deaths of six people over a video-game system.
The defense attorneys for ringleader Troy Victorino, 29, and Jerone Hunter, 20, had argued that the men should be spared because they had mental problems. They were convicted in July of first-degree murder for the slaughter at a Deltona home in August 2004.
The jury had recommended death, and Chief Circuit Judge Bill Parsons made the final decision between that and life in prison without parole. "The victims were not only killed, they were brutalized," Parsons said.
