HUDSON — A
Wisconsin judge has set sentencing for July 15 for a man who
admitted killing his three daughters in the girls' River Falls
home.
Last week a jury
found 35-year-old Aaron Schaffhausen was sane when he killed
11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia last
July.
Although jurors
agreed Schaffhausen suffered from a mental defect at the time,
they found it did not prevent him from knowing what he did was
wrong.
The Star Tribune
(http://bit.ly/17U1Of5 )
reports Schaffhausen will be sentenced to prison instead of a
mental institution.
Schaffhausen
faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison for each daughter's
death. The judge could decide to make him eligible for extended
supervision after he serves at least 20 years, but could also
decide he will get no chance at release.
