Jurors will begin hearing testimony in the sentencing phase for convicted murder, Johnathan Quiles
– Happening Monday,jurors will begin hearing testimony in the sentencing phase for convicted murderer, Johnathan Quiles. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against him.
Attorney Gene Nichols says in a typical death penalty phase, jurors will hear testimony from people who will give their reasons for why they feel Quiles’ life should be spared. One thing to remember, the law regarding Florida’s death penalty changed. A unanimous jury recommendation is no longer needed. Now, it’s 8 to 4.
Nichols who is not associated with the case says jurors will hear testimony that’ll aim to humanize Quiles. “Whether or not he has mental health issues, not enough, that rose to the level of being incompetent, or a not guilty by reason of insanity. But if there are mental health issues at play, then the defense is going to put those on,” Nichols said.
