12 February 2007 :
a jury in St. Charles County decided that Kenneth Baumruk should receive the death penalty for killing his wife, Mary, and shooting four others at the St. Louis County Courthouse during the couple's divorce hearing in 1992.Formal sentencing for Baumruk, 67, will be March 19.
Baumruk was convicted of murder by a St. Louis County jury in 2001 and sentenced to death. But the Missouri Supreme Court threw out the conviction, saying the trial should have been moved out of the same courthouse where the shooting occurred.
