Snipped from article:

"Judge Greg Schatz explained why the three-judge panel upheld a jury's recommendation of death.

The jury found that "the murder was especially heinous, atrocious, cruel or manifested exceptional depravity by ordinary standard of morality and intelligence."

"It's a free pass to Hell. I have no doubt that's where he's going," said Amber's mother, Melissa Harris."

and:

Ellis' attorneys expressed their condolences to the Harris family. They haven't said whether they'll appeal the sentence.

"Nebraska has been without a method of execution for a year, when the Supreme Court ruled that the electric chair was unconstitutional."

Will he sit on death row until a method for execution is decided for the state of NE?

I remember some news about the death penalty in NE, but can't remember if it was upheld?
