Pinellas dad accused of killing St. Petersburg boy and his mom indicted, faces death penalty

Authorities say Thomas Mosley stabbed Pashun Jeffery to death and also is responsible for the drowning death of their 2-year-old son, Taylen Mosley.

www.tampabay.com

A Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court grand jury has indicted a St. Petersburg man accused of killing his 2-year-old son and the boy’s mother on two counts of first-degree murder, according to court records.

Prosecutors also filed a notice that they will seek the death penalty against Thomas Mosley, 21.

The indictment, filed Thursday, accuses Mosley of stabbing 20-year-old Pashun Jeffery to death and alleges that he “unlawfully and from a premeditated design did cause the death of” a child in his care under the age of 5. The name of the child is redacted in the indictment, but the St. Petersburg Police Department previously identified the child as Taylen Mosley, the son Jeffery shared with Thomas Mosley.

[...]

Court documents cite four aggravating factors listed in Florida statutes as reasons why the state is seeking the death penalty: Mosley had been convicted of another capital felony or felony that involved the use or threat of violence; the killings were “especially heinous, atrocious or cruel”; the victim was under the age of 12; and the victim was particularly vulnerable because Mosley had familial or custodial authority over them.

Well, it's Florida. There are states where the death penalty on the table wouldn't make a lick of difference to getting life. Florida, they actually follow through.

I'm not in favour of the death penalty as a practice, but every now and then, a case comes along, especially when it involves kids, and I can't help but think, 'No, you don't deserve to get a second chance to do that again. You chose violence, and your choice opted you out of society.'

Life or the death penalty, I don't care which, but if he's sentenced to death, I won't mourn for him.

Is it an official finding of the coroner that Taylen died before encountering the animal or something that has been tacked on somewhere further down the line?

I think all we know at this point is that he was dead when he was found in the alligator's mouth.

I'm an Australian, I went right there, too. Though I don't live anywhere near a part of the country where crocodiles are anywhere outside of a zoo, it's something you learn about pretty young out here, how they hunt, what they do with their prey in the water. People have this idea that they're like sharks taking bites out of people, when actually, they tend to drown their prey, stash it, and eat it later.

After death of toddler Taylen Mosley, St. Petersburg police asked to change Florida law

Sen. Darryl Rouson is working with police to fix a law that allowed a man accused of killing his 2-year-old son to make burial decisions.

www.tampabay.com

To law enforcement officials, slain toddler Taylen Mosley’s loved one’s request seemed simple: They wanted to have his body for his funeral. So they asked the Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner’s Office for the body after his autopsy.

In doing so, they found a gap in existing Florida law.

When a person dies, their next of kin has control over what happens to the person’s body. ...

[...]

A medical examiner’s office representative had to go to the jail where Mosley is being held to get permission to release Taylen’s body to his loved ones before the April 7 funeral. Mosley agreed, and Roe told the Times that during that conversation Mosley said, “I have no son.”

[...]

Rouson said the existing law causes “double victimization” for the family. They have to grieve their slain loved one and then return to the accused killer in order to be granted rights to the body, he said.

[...]

Roe said she wrote the first draft of an amendment in early April, and she and Rouson worked together to edit the language. Rouson proposed the final amendment later that month, and it was tacked onto HB 233 on April 25.

[...]

The bill passed unanimously in both chambers, with the Senate voting on Wednesday. It is now headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk.

Thank you for this.
That’s such a sweet casket…
Glad the loophole was fixed. Laws can change quickly!
I wonder why the perp said that he has no son. I guess we have no idea the context of that.

It crossed my mind that as deranged as this idiot was, he probably thought the baby wasn't his. Perhaps that was his motive but seriously, a quick DNA test could have put any suspicion to rest.

Thomas Mosley pleads not guilty, prosecutors plan to seek death penalty

Mosley is due in court on Monday for a pretrial hearing.

www.baynews9.com

[...]

Court documents show that prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty against Mosley. Prosecutors have laid out numerous reasons for seeking the death penalty — arguing the crime was especially cruel, the victim was younger than 12 years old and was more vulnerable because his accused killer had authority over him as his parent, court filings said.

Mosley is scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning for a pretrial hearing.
