The argument escalated, and Mr. Lane stabbed one of the young men, police said. The other young man entered the bedroom and witnessed the attack before also being stabbed, police said. The teen was able to call police from a neighbor's house and was taken to a local hospital in serious condition. She was able to identify the attacker as Mr. Lane, police said. The arrest warrant charging Mr. Lane with capital murder was issued Tuesday morning.
Capital murder is punishable upon conviction by life in prison or death by lethal injection.
An Oldham County jury recommended yesterday that Miguel Angel Soto be sentenced to death for killing his former in-laws. If Judge Dennis Fritz upholds the recommendation, Soto will become the 41st person awaiting execution in Kentucky. Tearful sighs came from Armotta Porter and her sisters, Roxana Fischer and Elizabeth Hauer, who sat holding hands when the verdicts were read. Soto showed little emotion. Defense attorney Elizabeth Curtin said Soto will appeal the sentence.
