Convicted Sex Offender Sentenced To Life In Prison
KENTUCKY....
Prosecutors had asked Jefferson Circuit Judge Judith McDonald-Burkman for a death sentence for Cecil New II for kidnapping and killing 4-year-old Cesar Ivan Aguilar-Cano in 2007 after abducting him while he was playing outside his home near Churchill Downs. Burkman said Friday that she chose life in prison for New, a convicted sex offender, rather than sentencing him to death, because it is a harsher punishment than living on death row, and New “will wish this court had put him on death row” after he is around “bigger, meaner men who have nothing to lose.”
