Judge Marco Roldan followed a jury's recommendation in sentencing Richard Davis, 44, to death for the May 2006 killing of Marsha Spicer, 41. Davis videotaped the death of the woman he suffocated during sex. The jury recommended the sentence after convicting him of first-degree murder in July. He was also previously found guilty in the sexual attack of a 36-year-old woman in April 2006 and is charged with capital murder in her death. Davis' criminal history includes a 1987 rape for which he spent nearly 18 years in prison.
