    The defense is about to rest its case in the penalty phase of the Granville Ritchie trial. Before they do, Judge Sisco tells Ritchie he has the right to testify if he wants to. "I wish to remain silent," he says. @TB_Times

    We could get to closing arguments on the death penalty by this afternoon. After that, the jury will go to work to decide whether to send Ritchie to death row. @TB_Times
  3. Dan Sullivan‏Verified account @TimesDan 3h3 hours ago
    After that, the state will present some rebuttal witnesses. One of them is Emily Lazarou, the psychiatrist who was the subject of controversy in the Jonchuck case in Pinellas County. @TB_Times

    The defense has at least one more expert waiting to testify this morning. After that, they plan to show the jury a documentary-style video featuring interviews with Ritchie's family and friends in Jamaica. @TB_Times

    Land met with Ritchie and talked to people in the jail where he has been housed for five years. He described him as "fairly mild and meek," and said he has done well to conform with jail rules. "He is not a problem inmate," Land said.

    Late yesterday, there was testimony from Aubrey Land, a retired corrections official and prison consultant. He told the jury about what Ritchie's life would be like in prison, whether on death row or in general population. @TB_Times

    Dr. Joseph Wu - a neuropsychiatrist - testifies that convicted child killer Granville Ritchie has symptoms consistent with traumatic brain injury. @BN9 #bn9hillsborough

    Day 2 of sentencing trial for convicted child killer Granville Ritchie has begun. Ritchie's attorney called up a neuropsychiatry expert who examined Ritchie's brain scans to see if there were any abnormalities. @BN9 #bn9hillsborough

    The judge noted the state's motion, said she would think about it, but would allow the juror to remain for now. @TB_Times
  2. Dan Sullivan‏Verified account @TimesDan 3m3 minutes ago
    The defense disagrees. They want the juror to remain. It only takes one vote against death for a life sentence to be imposed. @TB_Times
  3. Dan Sullivan‏Verified account @TimesDan 3m3 minutes ago
    The state made a motion to strike the juror from the panel because they said she indicated she was already leaning in favor of a life sentence, before hearing all the evidence. They say she "engaged in misconduct." @TB_Times
  4. Dan Sullivan‏Verified account @TimesDan 3m3 minutes ago
    As court broke for lunch in the Granville Ritchie trial, the judge asked everyone to leave the courtroom except the attorneys. She did not say why she wanted to speak with them privately. As court resumed just now, it sounds like they were questioning a juror. @TB_Times
 
Hillsborough jury weighs life or death for child killer Granville Ritchie
September 27, 2019
TAMPA — Granville Ritchie is either a man of low-intelligence who grew up in poverty and suffers from brain abnormalities, or he is a man who grew up in decent circumstances, who possesses a normal brain but dangerous antisocial tendencies.

Those were the two Ritchies described by competing groups of expert witnesses who testified Thursday and Friday in the sentencing phase of his murder trial.

Which experts the jury believes will help decide whether Ritchie, 40, should be sent to Florida’s death row to await execution — or spend the rest of his life in prison without parole.
[...]
The seven women and five men started their deliberations just after 7 p.m. The judge let them call their families before they entered the jury room and had bailiffs order pizza for them. They continued through Friday night.

    Judge Sisco says, if the verdict is death, each juror will be asked: do you agree that each of the findings in the verdict for is yours? If it's for life, they will be asked: Do you agree that at least one member of the jury voted for a sentence of life without parole? @TB_Times
  2. Dan Sullivan‏Verified account @TimesDan 2m2 minutes ago
    They also asked: Will we be polled if it is not a unanimous decision for death? @TB_Times
  3. Dan Sullivan‏Verified account @TimesDan 5m5 minutes ago
    The jury’s question: after we have reached a final verdict in the penalty phase will each individual juror have to say what their vote was in the courtroom? @TB_Times
  4. Dan Sullivan‏Verified account @TimesDan 11m11 minutes ago
    I'm hearing that the Granville Ritchie jury has a question. @TB_Times

    Demerson thanked all of the law enforcement agencies involved in the case, the judge, the jurors, the community. "Everyone on that jury gave a care to say that man deserves exactly what he gets," she said. @TB_Times

    Felecia Demerson, the mother of Felecia Williams, embraced prosecutors after it was over. "It's been a long five years," she said. "I got justice. I got exactly what I asked for." @TB_Times

    Ritchie, as he has throughout the trial, remained stone-faced as the jury's decision was read. @TB_Times
