Steven Hayes was sentenced to death today for his role in a horrific home invasion in Chesire CT in 2007 which stunned even hardened homicide and sex crime detectives with its appalling savagery.
His sentence was mandatory, so he wasn’t trying to get off with a lesser sentence when he said:
“I destroyed innocent lives and took away a family, a family of very good people… Death for me will be a welcome relief and I hope it will bring some peace and comfort to those who I have hurt so much.”
I believe him.
