Florida Supreme Court upholds death sentence for man convicted in 2017 West Palm double murder
Marlin Joseph will remain on death row after justices deny an appeal of his murder convictions in the deaths of Kaladaa Crowell and Kyra Inglett
By Julius Whigham II
Palm Beach Post
WEST PALM BEACH — The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the death sentence of a Palm Beach County man convicted in the 2017 murders of a woman and her 11-year-old daughter.
The court rejected arguments an attorney made on behalf of Marlin Joseph, who received his death sentence after a jury in 2020 found him guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of 36-year-old Kaladaa Crowell and her daughter, Kyra Inglett, at a home on Third Street in West Palm Beach.
Circuit Judge Cheryl Caracuzzo imposed the death sentence at the jury's recommendation, making Joseph the first Palm Beach County resident since 2002 to be placed on death row.
In a written ruling made public Thursday, the state Supreme Court said it found that "there is competent, substantial evidence to support Joseph's two first-degree murder convictions."
Fred Susaneck, Joseph's attorney, said he plans to take the appeal to a higher court.
"We'll be doing whatever procedures are necessary to protect Mr. Joseph's rights," he said Thursday.
Susaneck argued before the state Supreme Court in October that the murders did not meet the test of being "heinous, atrocious and cruel" and asked the court both to throw out the convictions and death sentence and to order a new trial.
He also argued that multiple mistakes were made during Joseph's trial contributing to what he what he described as an unjust outcome.
He told the court that the jury should never have been allowed hear that Joseph had issued Kyra a warning indicating he would give her one more chance to correct her behavior.
Parents, he said, give children similar warnings all the time.
