Scott Nelson should get life in prison – not death penalty – for killing of Jennifer Fulford, jury decides
JUL 11, 2019 | 8:22 PM
Convicted killer Scott Edward Nelson should spent the rest of his life in prison — and not be executed, as he said he preferred — for kidnapping Jennifer Fulford from her employer’s Winter Park home and then killing her, a jury decided.
[...]
Circuit Judge Keith F. White sentenced Nelson to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the first-degree murder conviction, as well as three concurrent life sentences for the other charges of kidnapping, carjacking, robbery and tampering with a witness.
[...]
In their verdict, the jury said the aggravating factors did outweigh the mitigating factors as they considered capital punishment, but at least one juror voted for life in prison. To send Nelson to death row, the jury had to be unanimous.
[...]

ORLANDO, Fla. - Three of the jurors in the Scott Nelson death penalty case spoke with News 6 after the sentencing verdict was handed down.

The three woman told News 6 that they never believed Nelson was mentally ill, and instead felt he wanted attention.

The three jurors said that only one person on the jury disagreed with Nelson being put to death.
[...]
The three jurors wanted the public to know, all of them, except one juror, wanted Nelson to be sentenced to death.

"I don't want people to think like, 'Oh they didn't know what they were doing or how could they do that.' People need to understand, it has to be unanimous. One person can stop it," said a juror.
[...]
The three also said it was hard to watch Nelson smile when the sentence of life in prison was read by the judge.
