Douglas Stratton argued that his client should not be sentenced to death because Nebraska didn't have a valid death penalty law at the time of the crime and he says this is a very unique set of circumstances, "Unlike any other people sitting on death row when this crime occured there was no constitutionally sound death penalty on the books in the state of Nebraska. Now we try to change that and say it's just procedural but if we went through this entire process in one day, all the appeals and everything else you couldn't put him to death because we don't have the statutes in place to do it."

Jorge Galindo's 5 death sentences are The Attorney General's Office presented oral arguments in front of the Nebraska Supreme Court today arguing the five death sentences handed to Norfolk bank robber Jorge Galindo should be upheld.

Galindo was one of three robbers who entered the U.S. Bank in Norfolk in 2002. Inside the bank, Galindo, Jose Sandoval and Eric Vela shot and killed four bank employees and a customer. A jury convicted Galindo on five counts of first-degree murder. Galindo was sentenced to death for each murder.

"This level of violence and senseless loss of life demands the ultimate punishment," said Bruning. "The victims and their families deserve justice."

In Nebraska, every death sentence must be reviewed by the Nebraska Supreme Court. Assistant Attorney General Kimberly Klein is handling the case.
