 Rodriguez Sentenced To Death
(AP) Fargo, N.D. Jurors have sentenced convicted sex offender Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. to death for killing University of North Dakota student Dru Sjodin, whose body was found in a Minnesota ravine nearly five months after she disappeared.

Rodriguez, 53, of Crookston, Minn., looked straight ahead and showed no emotion as the sentence was announced late Friday morning in federal court. His mother, Dolores, and sister, Ileanna Noyes cried, as did a number of the jurors.

Members of Sjodin's family looked somber and stared straight ahead. They shared hugs outside the courtroom.

The jury of seven women and five men reached its decision after more than a day and a half of deliberations. North Dakota does not have the death penalty but it is allowed in federal cases.

The same federal jury convicted Rodriguez on Aug. 30 on a charge of kidnapping resulting in Sjodin's death.

Sjodin, 22, of Pequot Lakes, Minn., disappeared from a Grand Forks shopping mall parking lot on Nov. 22, 2003, and her body was found the following April in a ravine near Crookston. Authorities said she was beaten, raped and stabbed.

It is the first death penalty case in North Dakota in nearly a century.

U.S. Attorney Drew Wrigley, in his statements to jurors, said the death penalty for Rodriguez would be the "right thing, in the right case." He stood near her portrait and asked for justice.

Rodriguez's attorney, Richard Ney, asked the jury for mercy after calling psychologists and Rodriguez's family to talk about his childhood of poverty, abuse and exposure to farm chemicals. Ney also said Rodriguez had been anxious about being released from prison after serving more than 20 years for assaults on three women in 1975 and 1980.

This Attorney should be sentenced too, how can anyone in there right mind defend an animal like Rodriguez? Makes me sick!!!

If these hotshot Attorneys want to defend the abviously guilty, they should have to serve the same sentence as the defendant if found guilty.... I'd bet they would think twice about the stupid statements they make!
