USA - Florida. J. W. Campbell sentenced to life without parole

A Citrus County trial judge on June 23 resentenced John William Campbell to life without parole, after Campbell had waived his right to a jury trial. Four jurors in Campbell’s first trial had voted for life.
Judge Richard Howard resentenced Campbell to life after crediting significant mitigating evidence that Campbell was “doomed in the womb” as a result of severe fetal alcohol exposure that left him brain damaged, mentally and emotionally impaired, and physically stunted and deformed. Howard found that Campbell’s father had abandoned the family and left them to be raised by their abusive and chronically alcoholic mother. Noting that the Florida legislature had amended state law to require jury unanimity, Howard said: “They want 12-0. That is not this case.”
