COEUR D'ALENE -- Family members of victims say they don't want the state to make a deal with Joseph Duncan that would let him avoid the death penalty.

They say they are against the deal even though it would mean lone survivor Shasta Groene would not have to testify.

The 42-year-old Duncan has pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of first-degree kidnapping.

Shasta's mother and brother were killed, and she and another brother, Dylan, were abducted.

Dylan later died at a Montana campsite.
