CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Arapahoe County jurors are scheduled to resume deliberating Monday on whether a convicted killer should be executed. Twenty-three-year-old Robert Ray was convicted last month on two counts of first-degree murder in the 2005 shooting deaths of Vivian Wolfe and Javad Marshall-Fields. Fields was going to testify against Ray in another murder trial. Jurors halted deliberations Friday for a weekend break. Prosecutors say Ray has "forfeited his right to live" and should be executed as a deterrent against killing other trial witnesses. Defense witnesses told jurors that Ray had a violent upbringing in Chicago and saw at least three people get killed by the time he was 7. Ray asked jurors for a life sentence. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
