DALLAS (AP) _ A man has been sentenced to death for a second time in the 1989 slaying of an 81-year-old Dallas woman.
Mark Robertson, who was sentenced Thursday, had won a second sentencing hearing after a federal appellate court ruled that his original jury had been given confusing instructions on how to consider his punishment.
Robertson shot Edna Brau between the eyes in 1989 as she slept on the couch.
Robertson is already serving two life sentences for killing her grandson, Sean Hill, while they were fishing, and convenience store clerk Jeffrey Saunders.
Brau's son, John Brau, told the Dallas Morning News after the verdict that Robertson was a ``cancer to humanity'' who has only cared about himself.
