(CNN) -- A Florida jury has recommended that a plumber who kidnapped, raped and murdered a police detective's daughter be executed for his crimes.
Michael King, 38, showed no reaction Friday afternoon as the jury's 12-0 recommendation of death was announced in Sarasota. Jurors deliberated for nearly three hours.
King was convicted a week ago of first-degree murder and related offenses in the January 17, 2008, death of Denise Lee, a 21-year-old mother of two boys.
Nathan Lee and Sgt. Dave Goff, the victim's husband and father remained composed in court. They had maintained a daily presence in the courtroom during a trial that included the heartbreaking tape of Denise Lee's frantic 911 call on her captor's cell phone.
