New Haven , Connecticut ( CNN ) -- A judge in New Haven sentenced a 31-year-old man to death Friday for his role in a deadly home invasion that killed a woman and her two daughters in 2007 . Jurors convicted Joshua Komisarjevsky in October on six capital felony charges . The 12-member jury had recommended death by lethal injection on each of the counts . `` The task of sentencing another human being to death is the most sober and somber experience a judge can have , '' said Superior Court Judge Jon Blue . Komisarjevsky responded Friday , saying that he `` came into this trial angry and defiant . '' It 's a `` surreal experience to be condemned to die , '' he said . `` Our apathetic pursuits trampled the innocent . '' He said , `` I did not rape . I did not pour that gas or light that fire . '' `` I will never find peace again and my soul is torn , '' Komisarjevsky added . The family of his victims left the courtroom before Komisarjevsky spoke . Richard Hawke , in a victim 's statement prior to the sentencing , said the killings of his daughter and granddaughters had left him `` half-past dead . '' `` They offered to give you everything you asked for , you did n't have to take their lives , '' he told Komisarjevsky . `` You will from now on be known as a prison number in the book of death . You are now in God 's hands . '' The man convicted of being Komisarjevsky 's accomplice , Steven Hayes , was sentenced to death in 2010 . Juries convicted the pair on charges that they beat and tied up Dr. William Petit Jr. , raped and strangled his wife , molested one of their daughters and set the house on fire before trying to flee . Petit is the sole survivor of the attack that killed his wife and two daughters . `` I lost my family and my home , '' said Petit . `` My wife , my friend , my partner . I miss our late night chats and our partnership in raising the girls . '' Before assaulting and killing Jennifer Hawke-Petit , Hayes forced her to go to a bank and withdraw $ 15,000 from an account after finding evidence that the account held between $ 20,000 and $ 30,000 , authorities said . The two daughters , who were both tied to their beds , died of smoke inhalation , while William Petit managed to escape from the basement , where he had been held . Hayes had been charged with third-degree burglary in 2003 and sentenced to five years in prison . He was released three years later to a halfway house , where he met Komisarjevsky . Komisarjevsky 's attorneys had asked for leniency , arguing that he had no prior history of violence , was abused as a child and had been committed to a mental hospital for depression .
