USA - Florida. Mark Anthony Poole, who was sentenced to death in 2005, is no longer on death row.

Mark Anthony Poole, who was sentenced to death in 2005, is no longer on death row. The Florida Supreme Court ruled that Assistant State Attorney John Aguero erred when he asked witnesses about Poole’s prior criminal history during the sentencing hearing in Poole's trial. The court upheld Poole’s conviction on 1st-degree murder, rape and armed robbery, but overturned his death sentence and sent the case back to state court. Poole was convicted of fatally beating 24-year-old Noah Scott during an October 12, 2001 home invasion, and unanimously sentenced to death on May 4, 2005.
