For the second time, a jury has recommended that Khalid Ali Pasha, 69, black, should be executed for stabbing and bludgeoning his wife and stepdaughter to death on August 23, 2002. Hillsborough County jurors voted 11-1. Pasha was found guilty during a retrial last month of killing Robin Canaday, 43, and her daughter, Ranesha Singleton, 20. Circuit Judge Kimberly Fernandez scheduled a hearing for March 28. The Florida Supreme Court on June 24, 2010 (see) overturned Pasha's 2007 conviction and the May 30, 2008 (see) death sentence in the case. The high court said Pasha should have been allowed to serve as his own attorney at his original trial. Pasha represented himself at his retrial. For the sentencing phase of the second trial, Pasha obtained a lawyer, Wise, who urged jurors in closing arguments Monday not to recommend a death sentence. Wise said the murders were not calculated.
