Lamar Brooks , 29, stood without emotion as a judge again gave him 2 death sentences for murdering of Rachel Carlson, 23, and her 3-month-old daughter, Alexis Stuart. Lamar Brooks' new trial for the 1996 stabbings ended last month the same way as the first in 1998 - guilty of 1st-degree murder - but the death sentences will give him another automatic appeal. The Florida Supreme Court last year ordered a retrial because second hand, or hearsay, testimony was allowed during his 1st trial.
