JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - A former Marine has been sentenced to death in Florida for using a hammer to murder two people.
Raymond Bright was convicted in August of murdering 16-year-old Randall Brown and 20-year-old Derrick King III. Jurors had recommended a death sentence. Circuit Judge Charles Arnold agreed, calling the murders brutal and merciless.
Authorities said Bright used a hammer to bludgeon the victims to death in his home last year. One witness said the 55-year-old Bright and King did drugs together earlier the night of the murders.
