SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) Lawrence Harris Sr., of Sioux City, was convicted Thursday on two counts of first-degree murder in Woodbury County District Court.
Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 18. The convictions carry a
mandatory sentence of life in prison.
Ten-year-old Kendra Suing and her 8-year-old sister Alysha Suing
were found stabbed and strangled on Jan. 6, 2008. Authorities were
responding to a fire at their home.
Harris told police that he was performing "some strange
ritual'' that had gone bad. Prosecutors have said he practiced
Satanism and that the killings were part of a ritual.
A message left Thursday for Harris' attorney wasn't immediately
returned.

ADDENDUM TO PRESS RELEASE IN LIGHT OF VERDICT 1. The Church of Satan is relieved to know that the false and derogatory defense Mr. Harris attempted to use to avoid his responsibility for his vicious crimes was met with sanity as evidenced by his rapid conviction. 2. The Church of Satan's name has been dragged through the mud by both sides in this adversarial process, when all we wanted was justice our religion demands for the children our religion reveres. 3. It is indeed sad that Mr. Harris cannot legally meet his end in the same way he forced those two innocent children to, but perhaps one day, in a Satanic world.......... In closing, a reminder, the Church of Satan is a legal religion and The Satanic Bible PROHIBITS Harris' actions. There are no Satanic Rituals that involve hurting children!
