in Vero Beach, Judge Robert Hawley has vacated the death sentence Rodney Lowe received 14 years ago after he was convicted of the 1st-degree murder of a clerk at a convenience store. 
The judge found that new evidence indicating Lowe, 34, may not have acted alone during the 1990 attempted robbery and murder could have influenced the outcome of the penalty phase of his trial.
A jury found Lowe guilty in April 1991 of attempted armed robbery and the 1st-degree murder of 30-year-old Donna Burnell.
At the penalty phase of the trial, the jury recommended Lowe receive a death sentence. On May 1, the court sentenced Lowe to death. Under Hawley's order, a new jury will decide whether Lowe should receive the death penalty. Until then, Lowe will serve a life sentence.
