NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A Connecticut man has been sentenced to death for the killings of a woman and her two daughters in a gruesome home invasion.

Steven Hayes apologized for the crimes just before New Haven Superior Court Judge Jon Blue pronounced the sentence Thursday morning.

A jury that convicted Hayes in the killings condemned him to death last month.

Hayes sexually assaulted and strangled Hawke-Petit. Authorities say he and Joshua Komisarjevsky tied the girls to their beds, poured gasoline on or around them and set fire to their home in Cheshire.

Komisarjevsky goes on trial next year.

The disgusting part being that in truth and fact he will die of old age after living off of the taxpayer. The other alternative being early release so that he may run for public office and tour the talk show circuit where he will make millions.

Even with a horrible crime like this, it’s kind of surprising that a Connecticut jury and judge would impose the death penalty.

I agree with the earlier comments that he’s likely to die of old age before he exhausts the appeal process. But at least this is one hopeful indication that the people of that state haven’t lost their minds entirely to the invasion of liberal culture.

In MY World, he would be put to death in the same manner he murdered this family, rapes and torture included, then tied to a bed and burned to death.

Slow impalement on a rough wooden pole, being lowered an inch at a time would do the trick.

Yea and in 30 years and 1500000000000000 appeals he may just die.

1 appeal within the year, then outback with a 22 short pistol, and every joint in his body a receptacle for the aforementioned 22 short, a bucket of gas and a bic lighter. Die slowly SFB.

“And yet they will still swab his arm with alcohol when they gently put the needle in. I say they should rent an industrial tree chipper and put him in feet first for what he did.”

No argument from me ... I like to think that the dying part will be easy on this vermin compared to what will follow ... like Ted Kennedy (D-HELL) I think he will meet with the proper afterlife. And, most likely, each other.

This a-hole has tried to kill himself a few times in the last few years. he has stated he wants to die. When sentenced to death, he smiled and thanked the jury. He says he wants to forgo the appeals process.

In light of all that, and being not only familiar with the trial but also very close friends with the responding officers, justice would be much better served by letting the ghouls in gen pop loose on him. Oh he’d be raped. And tortured. And ultimately killed.

Trust me.

Surprising a lib state like CT has a death penelty.

CT has executed ONE person since 1976 (and he - serial killer Micheal Ross - WANTED to be executed). It is more likely that Hayes will die of old age than by injection.

Meanwhile, the lawyers make a ton of money off of endless appeals.

Whether you are for or against the death penalty, the Connecticut system of endless appeals is not justice.

Among their other forms of amusing themselves, they tied two girls to a bed ,poured gasoling on them and burned them alive. Just boys having fun.

The reason he said he was sorry, was because he got caught.

Newly elected Commiecrat governor Daniel Malloy is highly likely to commute any and all pending death sentences because of his oh sooooo refined sensibilities as a privileged Fairfield County red. Unless this case's notoriety prevents it, Malloy will sign a repeal of the death penalty as well when what ought to occur is a restoration of Old Sparky as the execution method.

Also, bear in mind that Hayes looks like a Boy Scout by comparison with his partner in rape, arson, murder and terrorism against two young girls and their mom and in beating the dad senseless.

You would have to see and experience what a very nice town Cheshire, Connecticut, truly is to appreciate the effect of such crimes on the sense of personal security of everyone in that entire community.

IIRC, the bank, having figured out what was going on when the mom was taken there by Hayes to clean out the substantial family accounts, immediately called the Cheshire police with all relevant info and the Cheshire PD lollygagged for an extensive time while the arson, one or more rapes and the murders occurred. There was no reasonable excuse for the delay in that verrrrry low crime town. I lived in the town next door to Cheshire before moving to Illinois and I am very familiar with Cheshire.

Just wait for Malloy to get in.

He’d sign it.

The defense attorney, Public Defender Tom Ullman, actually argued in the sentencing phase that Hayes did what he did because his parents divorced when he was 10 years old. To which, we may say that with all the divorces going on in America it is a good thing that all 10 year old kids of divorcing parents are not committing crimes of this magnitude 37 years later. Even as a recovering criminal defense attorney, and being acquainted with Ullman, I have a hard time imagining any rational person making such an argument for a client. There is no shame that could compensate for such a defense, none.

At the actual sentencing, the argument was that 47 year-old Hayes was living a life that "sucked" and that his mother (there she goes again!) had given him only a few days to move out of her house (at 47 years old, no less!) which is not likely to be located in Cjeshire. Pooooor babeeee, don't you just feel for him???? I mean, being rudely kicked out of the nest to fend for himself at only 47 years of age! What's a guy to do?

Here's the Malloy-proof solution: Wait until his sidekick is convicted next year. Send both to Somers, the maximum security state prison, distribute photos of the crime scene and the victims in a packet given to each normal criminal at Somers and some or all of them will put an end to the appeals, the perps and give crime a marginally better name. Prisoners at Somers REALLY despise child rapists.

And the court sentenced this CT man to death? So what? He will get 25 years worth of appeals at taxpayer expense or the verdict reversed on a technicality. Justice would have been that once the sentence was pronounced, this “wonderful” human being was escorted outside and treated to a collapsing platform with an attached rope. However, we are much too “civilized” for such barbaric things.
