The killings happened July 1 in the Halderson's home in Windsor, about 80 miles west of Milwaukee. Chandler was convicted on two counts each of first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse, hiding a corpse and falsifying information about a missing person. A first-degree intentional homicide conviction carries a mandatory life sentence.
