CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A fifth day of deliberations began Friday for a jury trying to decide if a man convicted of killing his family deserves life in prison or the death sentence.

Ricky Graham was convicted for the decade-old killing of his wife, Tracy Coleman, 26, and 1-year-old daughter, Rishea, in a trial last week. Friday would have been Coleman's 38th birthday.

Thursday's deliberations ended around 12:30 p.m. when the judge called them back into the courtroom and sent them home for the day because he had a death in the family.

Thursday morning jurors asked to see a psychologist’s report from the sentencing phase of the trial that says Ricky Graham has a personality disorder.

The last time a Mecklenburg County jury handed down the death penalty was in 2001, but that case was overturned during appeal because the defendant in that case had a mental disorder.

In 1996, passersby near Charlotte Douglass International Airport spotted a foot sticking out from the ground. The shallow graves held the bodies of Coleman and her baby daughter. They had been missing for about two weeks.

Last week, a jury convicted Ricky Graham of shooting both in the head.

Friday Coleman's family will hold a candlelight vigil Friday at 7 p.m. It will be the first time Graham and Coleman's surviving 15-year-old daughter will have to be with Coleman's family because she has been living in New York state with Graham's family until recently.
