Flack, 30, was convicted last week in the deaths of Kaylie Bailey, 21, her daughter, 18-month-old Lana-Leigh Bailey, Steven White, 31, and Andrew Stout, 30.

The jury found Flack was guilty of capital murder in the deaths of Bailey and her daughter. The jury also found Flack guilty of premeditated murder in the death of White, and second-degree murder in the death of Stout.

After hearing closing arguments on the sentencing phase Wednesday afternoon, the jury deliberated about two hours before recessing for the night.

Jurors resumed deliberations Thursday without an appearance in court. They announced a verdict around 11 a.m.

The murders in the Flack case took place between April 20 and May 1, 2013, at a farmhouse in rural Franklin County, eight miles west of Ottawa. All the victims were shot with a 12-gauge shotgun.

Because the jury recommended death in the case of the mother and toddler, Franklin County District Judge Eric W. Godderz can either impose the death penalty or sentence Flack to life in prison without parole. A final decision will take place May 18.

The state of Kansas has not executed anyone since 1965, although 10 people are on death row, some of whom have been there for decades.
