A Clark County Jury unanimously decided this morning to sentence 22-year-old Beau Maestas to death for the murder of 3-year-old Kristyanna Cowan and the attempted murder of 11-year-old Brittney Bergeron. Maestas pled guilty in 2005 to murder and attempted murder for the 2003 attack in a Mesquite trailer park that left Cowan dead and Bergeron paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Maestas will be formally sentenced by Judge Donald Mosley at 9 a.m. on August 30, 2006.
