USA - Florida. Judge Raul Zambrano sentenced Quentin Truehill, 26, Black, to death

St. Johns County Judge Raul Zambrano has agreed with the March 7 jury's 12-0 recommendation for the death penalty for Quentin Truehill, 26, Black, in the April 8, 2010 murder of Vincent Binder. Truehill was the 1st of 3 suspects to stand trial in the killing of Binde. Truehill, Peter Hughes, 26, and Kentrell Johnson, 43, were jail escapees from Louisiana. Truehill had been convicted of robbing and killing another man. Prosecutors said they broke out of jail and went on a crime spree. It became known in court that Binder died of multiple stab wounds. Truehill, Hughes and Johnson were apprehended by U.S. Marshals in April 2010. Hughes and Johnson are awaiting trials. The state will also seek the death penalty in their cases if they're convicted. Before he escaped from prison, Truehill was serving time for manslaughter and armed robbery.
