TAMPA —
[…] William Leslie McGoff, a nurse for LifePath Hospice, was a friendly man who lived alone. He had no pets but was always chatting in the front yard or playing with someone's kid.
The next day, more officers came. When they looked inside, they found McGoff, 53, killed inside his own home.
[…]
They said the killing doesn't appear to be random, noting that he may have known his attacker. Neighbors say police collected video from their homes to review.
[…]
In addition to his work as a nurse, McGoff was actively involved in Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, neighbors said.

I am devastated by Leslie's murder. He has been a friend of mine for about 10 years. There is nothing he wouldn't have done for somebody in need. I hide to hear an update that at least his car has been found.

Is Hillsborough's new top prosecutor anti-death penalty? The answer might surprise you
Warren says his office is reviewing "from scratch" about 20 death penalty cases he inherited to make a fresh decision in each one. He calls a death sentence "the most serious and sobering component of our criminal justice system. The most important thing to me is that, as a society, we get it right."

In fact, he has already decided that death is appropriate for Steven Lorenzo, implicated in the horrific slayings of two men used as sex slaves. His office will also seek death for Keith Earl Davis, charged with murder in the death of nurse William Leslie McGoff.
