[UPDATE] Segura Could Face Death Penalty in Quadruple Murder
A man accused of killing a Tallahassee woman and her 3 children could face the death penalty for it.
--------
Segura's attorney entered not guilty pleas to all four.
"Once all of the facts come out, I believe it's going to be clear that there was a reason it took almost a year for the state to indict Mr. Segura," said defense attorney Chuck Hobbs. "There's some serious lapses in evidence here and we really believe he's not guilty of these charges."
-------
Newly released court documents paint a harrowing picture of what happened inside.
Police reports say there were bullet holes in the bedroom, bathroom, hallway and living room.
One phone cord was ripped and another phone had been unplugged from the wall, forensic reports said.
Autopsy reports show Brandi Peters was shot eight times. Her hands were swollen and her nails torn. The medical examiner concluded her daughter Tamiyah had been shot in the head at close range. The two other children were drowned, the medical examiner said, and police reports say all three children were found dead in the bathtub.
The state will seek the ultimate penalty for it.
"The state's going to be seeking the death penalty in the case. We'll expect to be filing the paperwork associated with that in the next few days based on the totality of the case," prosecutor Jack Campbell said.
Segura will remain behind bars without bond until his trial. There's no date yet set for that.

HOW did all this happen with no one in the neighborhood hearing the at least 9 shots and all the screaming that I'm fairly sure took place? It appears the mother put up a fight and they were chased around the house. Those houses are fairly close together. I hope the state has enough good evidence that if he is guilty he won't be able to get out of this...
