Wow they will remain sequestered for 3 days before the penalty phase begins on Monday!! That is a major imposition on a jury. It's asking too much. Why can't they go immediately into the penalty phase with a sequestered jury? That's what usually happens I've never seen a delay like this with a sequestered jury.
eta: I think it's bc the state's expert is not allowed to interview ML until after he's found guilty. So they need the next couple days to do that before the penalty phase begins. But still. I'd be a little ticked of as a juror. No phone. No laptop. Whew. That's tough!

The jury found Markeith Loyd guilty on all counts, including the attempted murder of three of Dixon's family member.
Loyd was silent as the verdict was read. He nodded slightly to his family.
Dixon's mother was crying silently.

Thank you Jury! I'm surprised he contained himself like he did throughout.
He should just plead Guilty to killing Officer Clayton.

so agree with you. Loyd is no dummy. And apparently he has a charming, like-able side
based on all the people helping him hide when
he was on the run after he killed Sade. Even the mgr. of the chicken place was giving food to be taken to him. After they knew he'd killed Sade.
And he convinced 4 business owners to hire him even with his previous record as a convicted felon who did hard time.
Such a shame that he chose the path he did, he
probably could have made something out of his life with better guidance and a different upbringing.

9 things to know about penalty phase in Markeith Loyd trial
Oct 20, 2019
"ORLANDO, Fla. -
1. Markeith Loyd was found guilty of five violent crimes during the first phase of his trial: two counts of first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder.
2. Loyd faces two individual death sentences, one each for the murder of his ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon, and her unborn baby.
3. Now that the trial has entered the penalty phase, Loyd’s extensive criminal history—including time in federal prison on drug charges—is fair game for prosecutors.
4. Loyd’s past is also fair game for his defense team, which will explore his life dating back to childhood for things that could soften the jury’s view of the convicted killer.
5. Jurors are likely to spend more time in court deciding how to punish Loyd than they did deciding whether to convict; both sides have indicated they intend to spend more time questioning witnesses during the penalty phase.
6. The jury has only two options in this case: life in prison without the possibility of parole and the death penalty.
7. The jury does not impose any potential sentence of death. The jury makes a recommendation to the judge, who ultimately imposes the sentence.
8. The jury’s recommendation for death is not the end of the process. That recommendation triggers a waiting period, followed by a final hearing in front of the judge, at which Loyd would have an opportunity to present any final evidence that his life should be spared.
9. When it’s all finished, Loyd still faces a separate trial in 2020 for the murder of Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton. Once again, the death penalty will be on the table."

#MarkeithLoyd - Prosecution: 2 aggravating factors to consider during this phase for the murder of Sade Dixon: 1. Loyd was on probation at the time. 2. Loyd was previously convicted of a felony, battery of an officer in 1998. Jury can also consider the convictions from last week

#LoydTrial // State says there are two aggravating factors the jury can determine as they say "proper punishment for murder of Sade Dixon and her unborn child"
1) Loyd was on probation at the time of the murder
2) Previous conviction of a violent felony - battery on an officer
Cathy Russon @cathyrusson 2h2 hours ago
#MarkeithLoyd - For Dixon's unborn child there are 3 aggravating factors - same two aggravating factors as mother and also aggravating factor that child is under 12-years-old.

#LoydTrial // Factor #2 is interesting: The state says it's from a battery on law enforcement officer in 1998. State says we will hear from that officer:
