An Ohio jury recommended death Wednesday for convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell in the murders of 11 women.
Relatives of the victims gasped and hugged each other as Judge Dick Ambrose announced the first verdict for victim Tonya Carmichael. The courtroom erupted into applause after Sowell, dressed in an orange jumpsuit, left the courtroom.
The final decision rests with Ambrose, who scheduled a hearing Friday to impose the sentence.
