Circuit Judge William Fuente handed down a 3rd death penalty sentence for Dontae Morris, who could face yet another murder trial in the coming year. Morris, 30, Black, was convicted earlier this year of fatally shooting Derek Anderson. On July 30 (see), a jury voted 10-2 to recommend a sentence of death after convicting Morris of murdering Derek Anderson, 20, on May 18, 2010. Morris is already serving a life sentence for the May 31, 2010, murder of Rodney Jones. He is also serving two death sentences (see May 30, 2014) for killing police officers David Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab during a traffic stop on June 29, 2010. He is awaiting his last murder trial for the June 8, 2010 death of Harold Wright.
