J.B. Parker v. State of Florida
No. 01-172
Martin County
Parker was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death for the April 1982 murder
of Frances Julia Slater. His conviction was affirmed on appeal, but later his
case was sent back for a new sentencing due to errors in the first one. At the
resentencing the jury recommended the death penalty 11-to-1 and the trial judge
imposed it. Parker appeals.
