JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tuesday, a jury will begin hearing evidence to decide how Michael Renard Jackson will be sentenced for the first-degree murder and rape of Andrea Boyer. He was convicted on Feb. 22, 2010 and sentenced to death that July, but was granted a new trial on appeal.
He was ultimately convicted again on Saturday. Prosecutors closed their case with a graphic account of the morning in Jan. 2007 when Boyer was beaten, strangled, raped and stabbed at a Jacksonville apartment complex.
Jackson could ultimately be sent to death row for a second time.
