Suspect In DougCo Murder-For-Hire Case To Face Death Penalty
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. (CBS4) - A man accused of killing two people in a Douglas County murder-for-hire case is now facing the death penalty.
Josiah Sher, 27, is the man accused of executing the murders. He's one of four men charged in the murder plot designed by Christopher Wells, the estranged husband of one of the victims.
Christopher Wells' ex-wife, Amara Wells, and her brother-in-law, Bob Rafferty, were found dead inside the Rafferty home near Castle Rock last February.
Sher later confessed to the crime, saying he was hurting financially when he was asked to execute the murders.
No decision has been made on whether any of the other suspects will face the death penalty.
