FILE - This September 2009 photo provided by the Kansas Department of Corrections shows Sidney Gleason. A divided Kansas Supreme Court on Friday, Feb. 3, 2017, upheld Gleason's death sentence it once had thrown out in the 2004 shooting deaths of a woman and her boyfriend. The 4-3 ruling Friday let stand the Barton County sentence of Gleason in the killings of Mikiala Martinez and Darren Wornkey. The state's high court had vacated the death sentence in 2014, only to be overruled a year ago by the U.S. Supreme Court and ordered to review Gleason's case again.
