NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) _ Prosecutors and relatives of the victims of a deadly home invasion in Cheshire two years ago are seeking one trial for the two men charged with the crime, saying the sole survivor should be spared the ordeal of two trials.
Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes have pleaded not guilty to capital felony, murder and other charges.
They're charged in the killings of Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her two daughters, 17-year-old Hayley and 11-year-old Michaela. Hawke-Petit's husband, Dr. William Petit, was beaten but survived.
Thomas Ullmann, Hayes' public defender, declined to comment Tuesday.
