A jury in Las Vegas decided that a 22-year-old Utah man should die by lethal injection for stabbing two young girls left alone in a trailer outside a Mesquite casino in 2003.

Beau Santino Maestas sat silently as the verdict was read. Maestas had said the stabbings were revenge for a drug rip-off. He pleaded guilty in 2005 to murder and attempted murder. The girl who survived was left paralyzed from the waist down.
