Shaun Earl Arender, 21, will spend the rest of his life in prison.
In September 2007, Hanna Mack, 6, was found hanging from the rafter of her family’s garage.
Her mother found her when it would have been time for her to be getting ready for school. Throughout the investigation there was DNA samples taken from Hanna’s shirt and the results showed Arender was a possible match.
As part of the plea deal, Arender made the deal and then had to testify about the murder as part of the deal.
The affidavit said that Hanna Mack was sexually assaulted and she had died of asphyxiation.
The district attorney said it was his sole decision to seek the death penalty or life without parole. The attorney also said his job was to make sure justice was served for Hanna Mack and the citizens of Navarro County.
It’s a shame that we the taxpayers have to support this child killer for the rest of his life.

My question is why was there a plea deal? Geez, another injustice, for another family. My son was murdered by Terrance Hough, along with 2 others. He also maimed 2 people at the same time. This madman was convicted of 3 counts of aggravated murder. Then the jury refused to sentence him to death. My opinion is that people are jaded. They have no idea the hell we live after these terrible events. My heart goes out to this poor family.
