Loyd may not care. But Sade Dixon's mom does. She just told me she wants the death penalty. The way she figures it, Loyd gave her daughter an unborn grandson no second chances, so why should he get one? #WFTV

If the jury recommends death, it will be the first death verdict in Orange County in more than two years. Death verdicts have been tougher for prosecutors to win since the law began requiring unanimous juries.

The death penalty steps:
A. aggravating factors?
B. sufficient for death?
C. mitigating factors?
D. outweighed by aggravators?
E. unanimously recommend death?

In this first Loyd trial, jurors answered "no" to B. That automatically means a life sentence, no need to go on.
