State prosecutors announced they will no longer seek the death penalty for Corey Smith, a convicted murderer, due to factors such as time elapsed and unavailable witnesses.
After a prolonged legal battle impacted by changes in Florida's death penalty law and the removal of lead prosecutors, Smith received a reprieve as witnesses became scarce.
The Miami-Dade state attorney affirmed, 'we do not feel we have a sufficiently compelling case for a death penalty presentation to jurors,' considering various factors.
Defense attorney Allison Miller described Corey Smith as 'complicated' but noted he exhibits qualities of 'good' over 'bad', highlighting his intelligence and generosity.
