A Utah man was convicted on Thursday of killing six members of his extended family in Texas and faces the possibility of a death sentence.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty in the capital murder case, but jurors will decide whether Haskell should receive a death sentence or life in prison.
At trial, the defense argued that Haskell was insane and heard voices that led him to kill the six people,"I think he took it as best as you could expect," said Doug Durham, one of Haskell's defense attorneys, according to the station."He was aware that this was a strong possibility." The sentencing phase begins Monday. Haskell defense attorney Neil Davis III said his team will work “to save his life. That's our job," according to KPRC.Cassidy testified at the trial and was surrounded by family members. She appeared to be praying before the guilty verdict was read Thursday, according to KPRC.
At a 2014 memorial for her family, Cassidy thanked the community for its support and said that she was comforted knowing her parents, two brothers and two sisters are"in a much better place, and that I'll be able to see them again one day."
