BREAKING: A man has been sentenced to death in the killing of six members of his ex-wife's family in a Houston suburb in 2014.
Ronald Lee Haskell is escorted into court Thursday, Oct. 11, 2019 in Houston. A jury has sentenced to death Haskell, who fatally shot six members of his ex-wife's family in Texas. Jurors on Friday, Oct, 11, 2019, decided Haskell would be a future danger to society and rejected arguments by Haskell's attorneys that his history of mental illness should spare him the lethal injection.
Haskell killed the couple and four of their children in the living room of their suburban Houston home in 2014. A fifth child, 15-year-old Cassidy Stay, was shot in the head but she survived by playing dead. Haskell then went over to Zach, pointed a gun to the back of his head and pulled the trigger, she said.Cassidy Stay, now 20, was in court on Friday and cried when Williford detailed the killing of her family.

His attorneys said Haskell heardDurham urged jurors to consider “compassion and forgiveness” instead of “hate, anger” when making their decision.
Besides Stephen and Katie Stay and their son Zach, Haskell also killed 7-year-old Rebecca; 9-year-old Emily; and 13-year-old Bryan. Katie Stay was Lyon’s sister.
