2007 Ct. Home Invasion (William Pettit Family)

[CSA FD]

July 2007, Joshua Komisarjevsky and and Steven Hayes invaded a home in Cheshire; beat and tied up Dr. William Petit; raped and strangled his wife, Jennifer Hawke-Petit; molested one of their daughters; and set the family's house on fire before attempting to flee.

The two daughters -- 17-year-old Hayley Petit and 11-year-old Michaela Petit, both of whom had been tied to their beds -- died of smoke inhalation. Petit escaped to a neighbor's home.

Hayes was convicted in Dec. 2010, and sentenced to death, Komisarjevsky, convicted Oct. 12,2011, most likely will also get the death penalty.

As an alumnus of the school where Jennifer Hawke-Petit worked, I will only say that I hope this piece of excrement's time on death row is short and ends in an execution.
