Jury Votes for Execution of Killer of 3 Women
Jurors returned a verdict of death for a man convicted of killing three women, including two whose bodies were found in barrels on his rural property.
John Robinson Sr., 58, was convicted Tuesday in Olathe of two counts of capital murder in the deaths of the two women -- with whom prosecutors say he had sadomasochistic sexual relationships -- and one count of first-degree murder in the case of a woman whose body was never found.
Robinson sat rocking in his chair with his hand on his face but showed little emotion as the verdict was read.
Judge John Anderson III will formally sentence Robinson in a few months.
