A judge in New Haven, Connecticut, sentenced 31-year-old Joshua Komisarjevsky to death Friday for his role in a home invasion that killed a woman and her two daughters in 2007.
Komisarjevsky 's accomplice, Steven Hayes -- the first defendant to stand trial in the case -- was sentenced to death after a jury convicted him on 16 of 17 charges last year.
Prosecutors argued that Hayes and Komisarjevsky went into the home of the Petit family, beat and tied up William Petit, raped and strangled his wife, molested one of their daughters and set the house on fire before attempting to flee.
The two daughters, who were tied to their beds, died of smoke inhalation, while William Petit managed to escape from the basement, where he had been held.
