HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - In 2019 Lionel Francis was convicted of capital murder in the shooting death of his 20-month-old daughter.
He was originally facing the death penalty, but a new decision will change his sentence to life without parole.
According to court documents, the jury recommended that Francis be sentenced to death. The Madison Circuit Court accepted the jury’s recommendation and sentenced Francis to death.
Now the Alabama court of criminal appeals has vacated the death sentence, saying that for the death penalty to be applied, there must be evidence of an aggravating circumstance.
