A Dallas County jury recommended the death penalty for Franklin Davis, 31, black. Davis admitted in court to killing Shania Gray, 16, Black, describing how he lured her into his car outside her school, shot her and dumped her body in a river in September 2012. But he said he killed her out of revenge and hatred, not to prevent her from testifying that he raped her while she was baby-sitting his children. District Judge Mike Snipes read the sentence.
