Jurors Hear Recording Of Gary Lee Sampson's Confession
ResumeFederal jurors in Boston on Thursday heard defendant Gary Lee Sampson describe how he killed three men in a carjacking spree in 2001. Prosecutors played Sampson's more than 10-year-old confession to police to convince the jurors that Sampson deserves execution. He was sentenced to death in 2003, but that sentence was overturned after a judge found that a juror had lied during selection. WBUR's David Boeri was in federal court to hear the recordings.
