USA - Florida. A jury recommended a sentence of death for Michael Lawrence Woodbury

A Okeechobee County jury unanimously recommended a sentence of death for Michael Lawrence Woodbury, a man who was imprisoned at Okeechobee Correctional Institution (OCI) for the premeditated murder of his cell mate. Woodbury, 42, White, pleaded guilty on May 21 to the Sept. 22, 2017, capital felony of 1st degree premeditated murder of his cell mate, Antoneeze Haynes. According to the report, Woodbury struck Haynes repeatedly with a padlock. Woodbury is set for a Spencer hearing to present information not presented at trial to the judge (19th Judicial Circuit St. Lucie County Circuit Judge Sherwood Bauer) at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 13. The Spencer hearing, which takes its name from the 1993 case of Spencer vs. Florida, is held so defendants facing the death penalty have the opportunity to persuade the court against it. At the age of 31, on the morning of July 2, 2007, just 59 days after his release from a Maine prison - Woodbury shot and killed 3 people at the Army Barracks store in Conway, N.H. Woodbury received 3 life sentences for the triple homicide.
