7:35Now PlayingIt took jurors less than three hours to sentence Tanner Horner to death for the murder of 7-year-old Athena Strand in Wise County in 2022.
The former delivery driver showed no emotion as he stood listening to the sentence.
But it was a different story in the gallery. There were quiet sobs from the Strand family's section. Her mother, father, other relatives, and supporters shed tears when they heard the decision.
It's unclear if Horner had any family members in court.
This was Wise County Prosecutor James Stainton's first death penalty case. He described the experience as being very difficult.
There were two special questions the jury faced. First, do you consider Horner to be a continuing threat to society? Their unanimous answer was yes. Second, are there mitigating circumstances that should exclude Horner from receiving the death penalty? That answer was no.
There will be an automatic appeal process by law with death penalty cases.
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani joins LiveNOW's Shawna Khalafi to discuss.
