A jury in Maricopa County Superior Court Friday sentenced him to the death penalty for the two murders.
Benson was also sentenced to additional prison terms from seven to 28 years for the kidnappings and rapes.
Benson confessed to the murders and one of the other rapes, but denied being involved in the fourth rape. DNA evidence linked him to all the crimes.
