Life sentence for man convicted of killing 5 in Denver bar

DENVER (AP) — A man convicted of stabbing five people to death at a Denver bar and setting the business on fire will not be executed and instead will serve a lifelong prison sentence, a jury decided Thursday.
It is the second time in a month that a Colorado jury has decided against execution for a mass killer. Earlier this month, jurors choose not to give the death penalty to James Holmes, who attacked a movie theater in suburban Denver in 2012.
The latest case involved Dexter Lewis, who was convicted Aug. 10 of five counts of murder for stabbing five people to death in October 2012. The killings happened during a bar robbery that netted $170.
Prosecutors said Lewis led the four-man robbery crew at Fero's Bar and Grill. He killed the bar's owner and four customers. Two of the men at the robbery testified that Lewis, 25, went down a line stabbing his victims while they were held at gunpoint.
"He simply went down the line, not caring about them, not showing any of them any mercy," prosecutor Matt Wenig told jurors when they began considering execution for Lewis.
The bar was set ablaze before the men fled.
