James Kraig Kahler listens to the judge while being sentenced in Osage County Court in Lyndon, Kan. on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011. A judge sentenced Kahler to death for fatally shooting his estranged wife, their two daughters and his wife's grandmother, then ordered him to stay in court and listen to his victims' relatives talk about the pain he caused them. Kahler was convicted in August in the 2009 killings in Kansas. Kahler shot his 44-year-old wife Karen, her 89-year-old grandmother Dorothy Wight, and the Kahlers' two daughters, 18-year-old Emily and 16-year-old Lauren, as the couple struggled through a divorce.
