The Gary Lee Sampson death penalty sentencing retrial has been set for Sept. 14 in federal court in Boston, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts has announced.
Sampson was condemned by a jury to die after pleading guilty to carjacking and killing two Massachusetts men in 2001.
Nineteen-year-old Jonathan Rizzo of Kingston and 69-year-old Philip McCloskey of Taunton lost their lives during the weeklong crime spree.
In 2011, U.S. District Court Judge Mark Wolf ordered a new sentencing trial after finding that a juror had lied about her background.
Sampson also admitted he killed a third man, Robert Whitney, in New Hampshire during the rampage. He received a separate life sentence in New Hampshire in that case.
