Description
A jury has recommended that the man convicted of killing a former Lakeland city commissioner and her husband be sentenced to death for his crimes.
On Tuesday, 11 out of 12 jurors recommended the death penalty for Marcelle Waldon. Waldon was convicted last week of first-degree murder in the deaths of Edith "Edie" Henderson and her husband David.
The Hendersons were murdered on the morning of Nov. 10, 2020, in their home near Lake Morton. Police said at the time they believed David had gone out to get breakfast and was setting it up downstairs. Unbeknownst to him, his wife had been killed upstairs inside their bedroom.
At some point, police said, David went upstairs and found Edie stabbed to death. Waldon was reportedly still in the room; the two struggled before David was also killed.
