Jury will now decide on death penalty or life without parole.
The Washington state Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the conviction and death sentence of a Kirkland man who killed two women and two children in 2006 and then tried to cover up the murders by setting the house on fire.
In a divided 254-page opinion, the justices affirmed the conviction of Conner Schierman. The justices upheld his death sentence in a 6-3 vote.
Schierman was sentenced to death in 2010 after being convicted of murdering Olga Milkin, her 5-year-old son Justin, 3-year-old son Andrew and her sister, Lyubov Botvina.
