Salt Life co-founder's shooting of teen girlfriend was 'an accident,' lawyer says after sentencing

FILE - Michael Hutto mug shot. (Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office)Michael Hutto pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the 2020 fatal shooting of his teenage girlfriend, which the 56-year-old Salt Life clothing brand co-founder's lawyer called "an accident that destroyed two families' lives." Hutto was sentenced to 12 years in prison after Thursday's guilty plea in Palm Beach County, Florida court for the fatal shooting of his 18-year-old girlfriend, Lora Grace Duncan, in a Florida hotel and left her to decompose. Hutto told police that he and Duncan were "playing" inside the hotel by pretending to shoot each other with finger guns when he pointed his real gun at her and "it went off," according to the probable cause affidavit. Duncan was shot in the stomach and bled out on the floor, and Hutto fled the scene but left behind his wallet and ID, the affidavit says. Hutto's attorney, Donnie Murrell Jr., said he didn't know why Hutto pulled his real gun out during the "playful" exchange, according to the Palm Beach Post. "This was an accident," Murrell Jr.

American bald eagles build new home at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - A trip through a historic 6,000-acre spaceport on Florida’s east coast will likely net visitors sights of old rockets, the Vehicle Assembly Building and launch sites. Yet alongside all the human innovations, the Kennedy Space Center has become known for its refuge for thousands of animals including America’s national bird.Every year, the space agency reports American bald eagles take residence at the center and nearby Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.NASA said there are on average 11 active nests at the space center each year but a nest that gained fame for its prominence near the Vehicle Assembly Building since 1973 was no longer used by the migratory birds.Biologists believe severe storms in 2021, and an invasion of pine bark beetles badly damaged the nest and weakened the tree, forcing a pair of eagles to start building a new nest.

Pasco County couple commissions revolver-shaped swimming pool

ODESSA, Fla. - The swimming pool in the backyard of Louis Minardi’s home may be distinctive to Florida: The custom-built pool is shaped like a six-shooter revolver, in a state made famous – sometimes infamous – by guns, gun politics and gun culture."Neighbors that have bought houses around here have all come by," said Minardi, who lives near Tampa. "They’re all, ‘Is this guy a whack job?’"Gun-shaped pool built in Pasco County The story behind the revolver-shaped pool goes back roughly 40 years to an idea proposed by Minardi’s high school friend, Albert Jones III, a contractor who said he was bored building more traditionally shaped pools.Minardi was reluctant at first, but the idea resonated with him, given his lifelong relationship with guns.

Parkland shooter prosecutors ask for investigation after juror said she felt threatened by fellow juror

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Prosecutors in the case of Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz are calling for an investigation after a juror said she felt threatened by another member of the jury during deliberations that ended with a life sentence for Cruz’s murder of 17 people.The motion calls for law enforcement to interview the unnamed juror after she told the state attorney’s office about what "she perceived to be a threat from a fellow juror while in the jury room." No further details were given. A hearing was held Friday afternoon, where the judge said the matter should be in the hands of law enforcement.The jury foreman said three of the jurors ultimately voted for life in prison, with one of them being a "hard no" on the death penalty and another two ultimately choosing to vote against it as well.A divided jury spared Cruz the death penalty and instead decided to send him to prison for the rest of his life in a decision that left many families of the victims angered, baffled and in tears.

Life or death? Jury in Parkland school shooting penalty trial reaches verdict

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A jury said Thursday that it has reached a decision on whether to recommend that Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz be executed for the 2018 massacre that killed 17 people at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.The recommendation was not immediately released and came in on the second day of deliberations, promising an end to a three-month trial that included graphic videos, photos, and testimony from the massacre and its aftermath, heart-wrenching testimony from victims’ family members, and a tour of the still blood-spattered building.Nikolas Cruz waits for the judge to enter the courtroom before the jury's verdict is released. The jury’s decision must be unanimous if it intends to recommend the death penalty, and if that happens, it will be up to Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer to make a final decision. If all jurors can’t agree on recommending death, then Cruz would get life in prison.PREVIOUS: Parkland shooter trial: Prosecutor makes final case for Nikolas Cruz to get the death penaltyOn Tuesday, Cruz, sat impassively during closing arguments, occasionally exchanging notes with his attorneys.
