Barron, Wis. – More than seven months after he shot his way into a home on the outskirts of this western Wisconsin town, killing two adults and abducting their teenage daughter, Jake Patterson is headed back to court to face his fate.

Patterson, 21, is expected to be sentenced to life in prison Friday after pleading guilty in March to fatally shooting Denise and James Closs in the dark of an October morning and kidnapping their 13-year-old daughter Jayme and holding her hostage for 88 days before she escaped.
