Florida Bank Shooter Faces Jury Sentencing Trial

News summary

Zephen Xaver's sentencing trial, where he shot and killed five women in a Sebring bank, nears its end with closing arguments expected before the jury. The trial marks a significant case in Florida where the death penalty no longer requires a unanimous jury decision, now needing at least 8 out of 12 jurors to recommend execution. Xaver's troubled history, including claims of suicidal and homicidal thoughts since a young age, regular counseling, behavioral issues in school, and struggles with medication, emerged during the court proceedings. The victims' families support seeking the death penalty. In a separate report, meteorologists discuss potential Caribbean developments and hurricane preparedness tips.
