 The judge presiding over the 1994 trial and that ultimately sentenced Chandler, died of lung cancer in April 2016 at the age of 73. In a 2011 interview the judge described Chandler as a man with no soul, and further commentated the trial, "It's the worst case as far as factually, and as far as a defendant without saving grace, that I ever handled. And I represented plenty of people who were not necessarily good people."
