Meskwaki man sentenced to life in prison for killing parents

March 25, 2015 By Dar Danielson

gavel-thumbnailA Meskwaki man convicted of killing his parents was sentenced to life in a federal prison. A jury found 26-year-old Gordon Lasley Junior guilty of two counts of second-degree murder in December after evidence at his trial showed he used a machete to murder his father Gordon Lasley Senior and mother Kim Renee Lasley at their home on the Meskwaki Settlement in February of 2014.

Lasley’s attorneys unsuccessfully argued Lasley was insane at the time of the murders and should not be held criminally responsible. He was sentenced to two consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.
