BAKERSFIELD, CA. - Closing arguments in the penalty phase will be made tomorrow for an Oildale man who was convicted eight days ago for murdering his wife and her mother.
Robert Dale Fuller, 61, was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and six counts of violating a court order to prevent domestic violence.
The defense completed its closing arguments today in the penalty phase.
His wife, 45-year-old Annette Sowders and her mother, 69-year-old Sharon Cannon, were shot to death in the living room of their home in the 200 block of South Plymouth Avenue in August 2009.
The jury will deliberate whether to sentence Fuller to the death penalty -- as pushed by the prosecution -- or to go for life without parole.
