James Willie will go on trial for the murders next month. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Willie's accused of murdering two people and raping a third victim. If convicted, he could be put to death. Willie faces the death penalty for the murder of 74-year old Thomas Schlender from Nebraska.
