Ex-prison guard trainee may face death for killing 5 women in Florida bank, jury votes – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: A jury recommended the death penalty for Zephen Xaver, a former prison guard trainee, for the execution-style murders of five women in a Florida bank in 2019. Jurors voted 9-3 for the death penalty, but Circuit Judge Angela Cowden will make the final decision. Xaver, who had long-desired to kill, pleaded guilty to the murders. The massacre involved Xaver ordering the women to lie on the floor before shooting them. Prosecutors described Xaver as a cold, calculated killer, while his defense argued he is mentally ill, hearing voices since childhood. The case reflects a recent Florida law change requiring only an 8-4 jury vote for the death penalty recommendation.
