Minuteman border activist Shawna Forde was found guilty Monday of murdering 9-year-old Brisenia Flores and her father Raul. Forde committed the murders while robbing the family for money to fund her border-militia group. On Tuesday, a jury will decide whether Forde should face the death penalty. If the jury doesn’t unanimously sentence her to death, she will receive a life sentence, possibly with the option of release after 25 years.
