In a July 12 story about the sentencing of Luis Aguirre, who was convicted in the killing of his girlfriend and their son, The Associated Press erroneously reported that a Riley County jury recommended he be sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. The jury recommended that Aguirre be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He will be formally sentenced on Aug. 7.

A Riley County jury has recommended life in prison for a former northeast Kansas man convicted of killing his girlfriend and their son.

Luis Aguirre was convicted last month of capital murder in the suffocation deaths of 18-year-old Tanya Maldonado and the couple’s 13-month-old son, Juan. The deaths occurred in September 2009 at Aguirre’s Ogden home. The bodies were found the next month near Ogden.

Prosecutors had been seeking the death penalty for Aguirre.

The jury heard prosecution and defense testimony this week and deliberated about four and a half hours Thursday before recommending that Aguirre serve life in prison with the possibility of parole.

A judge will formally sentence Aguirre on Aug. 7.
