David Snelgrove, 32, convicted of the June 25, 2000 robbing and murdering of a couple, won a new sentencing hearing from the Florida Supreme Court.
The court unanimously upheld his murder convictions but lifted his two death sentences because his jury had submitted a single 7-5 recommendation covering both killings. Jurors should have voted separately on each of the sentences, the justices wrote in an unsigned opinion.
A new jury will be impaneled to receive sentencing evidence and then make two recommendations, one each for the murders of Glyn and Vivian Fowler, 84 and 80.
