Jurors are weighing whether Alberto Sierra should receive a life sentence or the death penalty in the 2012 killings of Gladys Machado and her daughters, Julia and Daniella Padrino. Sierra pleaded guilty in August to three counts of murder and three counts of kidnapping.
The penalty phase continued Wednesday with testimony from crime-scene detective Aura Jean Rosello about evidence collected during the investigation. Machado and her daughters were found dead in a bedroom closet on Nov. 13, 2012. jurors will make a sentencing recommendation after hearing additional testimony and evidence.
