BOISE (AP) -- The father of Dylan and Shasta Groene says the man who kidnapped his children and received three death sentences should not be tried for additional crimes he is accused in a California slaying.
Ten-year-old Anthony Martinez of Indio was abducted and killed in 1997.
Steve Groene says another trial for convicted child-killer Joseph Duncan could subject the family of that child to the same type of graphic evidence his family had to endure.
Jurors watched a horrifying video Duncan made of his sexually abusing, torturing and hanging Dylan until the boy lost consciousness.
Dylan and then 8-year-old Shasta were taken from their Coeur d'Alene home in 2005. Shasta was rescued after a waitress recognized her at a restaurant.
Duncan received three death penalties in August for the kidnapping, torture and murder of 9-year-old Dylan.
