A death row inmate condemned for the 1996 murders of an Air Force technician and her baby must be tried again, the Florida Supreme Court ruled. Lamar Brooks, 28, was sent to death row in September 1998 for the murders of 23-year-old Rachel Carlson and her 3-month-old daughter, Alexis Stuart. Brooks' conviction and death sentence must be vacated because the trial judge allowed improper hearsay evidence at his trial. All 7 justices agreed that Brooks deserved a new trial.
