State Urges Chair for Part In Strangling
A three judge court weighs verdict in the first degree murder case of Sandra Lee Kingsley 24 with options of guilty as charged or guilty with mercy. Prosecutor John Rossetti seeks death in the electric chair for Kingsley, aligning with the prior sentence against her confessed lover Russell Muskus. Defense argues lack of proof beyond reasonable doubt and seeks acquittal or prison. Witness rebuttal and Muskus testimony fuel the jury’s deliberations as details of the alleged “badger game” surface and the upstairs encounter is contested.
