SALEM, Ore. (AP) — The father and son convicted of killing two police officers in a bank bombing two years ago are to be formally sentenced Monday in Marion County Circuit Court.
Judge Thomas Hart is to sentence Bruce and Joshua Turnidge to death. A jury last month unanimously agreed the state should impose the death penalty.
The two were convicted in December of aggravated first-degree murder and other charges for planting a homemade bomb at the West Coast Bank in Woodburn. The bomb killed state police bomb technician William Hakim and Woodburn Police Capt. Tom Tennant.
Their case will automatically go to the Oregon Supreme Court for review.
