Connecticut man convicted in home invasion terror case
Steven Hayes, 47, was convicted in Cheshire of killing a mother and her two daughters during a 2007 home invasion. Prosecutors say Hayes and an accomplice beat the father, sexually assaulted the mother, and burned the house after tying the girls to their beds and dousing them with gasoline. The case drew comparisons to a grisly crime and will influence sentencing discussions for a potential life term.
