OTTAWA — The jurors who convicted Kyle Flack last week of killing four people three years ago near Richter will now decide if he receives the death sentence or life without parole for the murders. Jurors began hearing testimony Monday in the second round of the trial. Monday, prosecutors called for the death penalty, saying the murders met the state’s requirements for meeting the death penalty. They said the quadruple homicide was “extremely wicked, shockingly evil and vile.” The killings of Kaylie Bailey and her toddler daughter, Lana, were done in an “especially heinous, atrocious or cruel manner,” assistant attorney general Vic Braden said. The prosecutors said Flack had been imprisoned for attempting to kill an Ottawa man. Flack’s attorneys began offering mitigating evidence for giving a life sentence to him. Flack experienced child abuse and has had a long-running series of mental disorders as had his family, defense attorney Tim Frieden said. Flack also was convicted in the deaths of Bailey’s boyfriend, Andrew Stout; and his roommate, Steven White. The second part of the trial is expected to last through the end of this week.
