15 January 2010 :

Separate Riverside County juries recommended today that Glen Joseph Jones, 26, and Jeffree Jay Buettner, 34, both white, should suffer the death penalty for slaying a teenage girl in May 2002. Last month, the same juries convicted both men. Stephanie Benton, 18, white, was beaten and strangled because the 2 believed she'd been talking to investigators about crimes the pair had committed. Jones and Buettner will be sentenced April 23rd.
