"Convicted murderer Justin Heyne finds out this week whether a judge will follow a jury's recommendation to sentence him to the death penalty.
Circuit Judge O.H. Eaton will hand down the sentence at 9 a.m. Thursday in Courtroom 4G of the Moore Justice Center in Viera.
Heyne, 28, was convicted this summer in the 2006 shooting deaths of his roommates: Benjamin Hamilton and his girlfriend, Sarah Buckoski, and their 5-year-old daughter, Ivory.
The jury recommended life in prison for Hamilton's murder, then voted 8-4 for the death penalty in Buckoski's death and 10-2 in favor of execution in the child's killing.
In October, Lamont Lewis, 27, of Mims, who was charged in a plot to smuggle a gun to Heyne in the Brevard County Detention Center was sentenced to four years on probation after striking a plea bargain with prosecutors."
