In Orlando, Orange County jurors recommend the death penalty for a man accused of strangling 2 people

1 MIN READ
In Orlando, Orange County jurors recommend the death penalty for a man accused of strangling 2 people. David Sylvester Frances and his younger brother, Elvis, were charged with strangling Helen Mills and her teenage niece Jo Anna Charles almost four years ago. Elvis Frances was sentenced to life two years ago. He wasn't eligible for the death penalty because he was 16-year-old at the time of the killings. The jury found David Frances guilty of the murders on Friday. He was 20 years old at the time of the killings. An Orange Circuit Judge will have the final say on his sentence.
