Murder in The Villages-Justice Continues (Part 2)
Well, Justice is creeping forward.
OCALA - A Marion County judge rejected motions to overturn Florida's death penalty Tuesday, as the trial of two men charged in the death of a Villages woman draws near.
Circuit Judge Brian Lambert denied motions by lawyers for Renaldo McGirth and Jarrord Roberts to declare Florida's lethal injection method unconstitutional.
McGirth, 19, and Roberts, 21, are charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and kidnapping in a July 2006 robbery that left Diana Miller dead and her husband, James, wounded. McGirth also is charged with fleeing police.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against both men. Their trial is scheduled to begin Jan. 22.
A third co-defendant, Theodore Houston, pleaded guilty in December and is expected to testify against McGirth and Roberts in exchange for a possible sentence of 25 years.
Not even at trial yet, and the poor murderers are concerned about their constitutional right to not have their execution cause them pain.
The heart bleeds.

Only a few days now....Come on Sheila, you know you did it!!
"known them for 30"
That's right, 'known' but it's just getting started. I've been informed that a very large jury pool is being called on the 22nd. I hope a jury gets seated quickly so justice can continue...to its rightful conclusion.
Thank You for the info "Florida", hell just fly me down I will be the judge and jury. Pretty cut and dry if you ask me, but what do I know...Oh yeah, Sheila the murderer like the back of my hand.
