USA - Wyoming

27 March 2022 :

Dale Wayne Eaton (now 77, White) re-sentenced to life in prison without parole, plus an additional 40-50 years afterwards, for the first degree murder, kidnapping, robbery and 1st degree sexual assault Lisa Marie Kimmell in 1988.
Eaton was originally given the death penalty in 2004, but that sentence was struck down by a federal judge in 2014, ruling Eaton didn’t have appropriate representation during the penalty phase of his trial. In 2015, Natrona County prosecutors filed its intent to seek the death penalty again, but recently withdrew that motion after mental evaluators found that Eaton was not competent to withstand a capital sentencing hearing, but could proceed with a sentencing hearing that does not include the death penalty.
