snip
{¶14} A grand jury indicted Carovillano for rape1 (Count I), aggravated murder after committing or attempting to commit rape2 (Count II), aggravated murder of a child under 133 (Count III), murder4 (Count IV), and endangering children5 (Count V) for the events alleged to have occurred on July 20. A three-judge panel found Carovillano guilty of Counts III, IV, and V, but he was acquitted of Counts I and II because the state was unable to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Carovillano had raped Kaylee on July 20, 2005. Carovillano was sentenced to life in the department of corrections without the possibility of parole.
{¶15} In December 2005, Carovillano, in a separate case, was indicted for rape in connection with his confession to having penetrating Kaylee with his finger about a week before July 20. He pleaded no contest, was found guilty by the court, and was sentenced to a consecutive life term in the department of corrections.
