There is no way Chandler Halderson is going to avoid a life sentence, but he may avoid the sentencing hearing.
Halderson’s lawyers say he’s asked the judge not to be in the courtroom when he’s sentenced on Thursday for murdering then butchering his parents. Dane County prosecutors are asking the judge not to allow Halderson to skip-out on the hearing.
The D.A’s office says victims have a right to speak, and Halderson should have to hear what they have to say.
