The jury in the trial of Chris Collings says he should die for the murder of a 9 year-old girl five years ago. The Platte County jury took less than an hour to arrive at the recommendation.

Collings has been found guilty in the Phelps County trial of first degree murder in the death of Rowan Ford, of Stella, in November 2007.

Ford’s stepfather, David Spears, is also awaiting trial for his role in her rape and murder.
