Court Hears Death Sentence Appeal In Xbox Murders

TALLAHASSEE - A defense lawyer says three men convicted of killing six people over an Xbox video game system should have received separate trials.

That was one of several arguments made Monday to the Florida Supreme Court on behalf of Jerone Hunter. He was sentenced to death in the 2004 massacre at a Deltona home.

His lawyer also argued Hunter should be spared from death because he acted under domination of the ringleader, had no prior criminal record and suffers from schizophrenia.

Investigators said the ringleader, also sentenced to death, was angry because a victim took his Xbox video game and some clothing from a vacant home where he had been squatting. The third man convicted at trial and a fourth who pleaded guilty received life terms.
