Summary of Offense:
On August 27, 2008, a jury in Idaho returned a unanimous verdict for a death sentence for Duncan after deliberating for three hours. Duncan had pleaded guilty to ten federal charges, including the murder and kidnapping of a young boy, Dylan Groene, age nine, and the kidnapping of Dylan's sister, Shasta, age eight, in May 2005. Duncan insisted on defending himself, and offered no mitigating evidence and no closing argument in the sentencing trial.
