- A Southern California jury on Monday recommended the death penalty for a man convicted this month of the 2010 sledgehammer killings of a family of four whose bodies were later found buried in the Mojave Desert, media reports said.

A San Bernardino County Superior Court jury found Charles “Chase” Merritt, 62, guilty on June 10 of four counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of a former business associate, Joseph McStay, and his family. The jury recommended a life prison sentence without parole for the murder of Joseph McStay, 40, according to media reports.

Their skeletal remains were unearthed in 2013 from shallow graves near Victorville, northeast of Los Angeles. The four had been killed inside their home the day they were last heard from, and died of blunt-force trauma.
