    Matthew Ted Marshall - Florida Death Row




    Summary of Offense:

    On December 12, 1989, Matthew Marshall was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Marshall and Jeffrey Henry were both incarcerated at the Martin Correction Institute on November 1, 1988. At the time, Marshall was serving prison time for previous offenses. On the day of the murder, witnesses heard moans and screaming emanating from Henry’s cell. Marshall was seen exiting from the cell with blood on his chest and arms. Minutes later, witnesses saw Marshall re-entering Henry’s cell and heard similar noises emanating from his cell once again. After a moment of silence, witnesses saw Marshall exiting from Henry’s cell, this time covered in blood. Henry was found dead, lying face-down in his cell with his sweat pants pulled down to his ankles and his hands tied behind his back. Henry’s cause of death was severe blows to the back of the head. During his indictment, Marshall stated that Henry was known as the “muscle man” for inmates who operated football game-pools. Marshall won sums of money and sought to collect his winnings from the other inmates. The inmates instructed Marshall to obtain his winnings from Henry. When Marshall met Henry at his cell, a fight broke out between the two men when Henry refused to pay. According to Marshall, Henry attacked first and he killed Henry in self-defense.

    Marshall was sentenced to death in Martin County on December 12, 1989.

    Marshall was denied a Certificate of Appealability by the US Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals on June 28, 2010.

    Opinion is here:

    In today's United States Supreme Court orders, Marshall's petition for a writ of certiorari and motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis was DENIED.

    Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products.

    "They will hurt you. They will hurt your grandma, these people. The root cause of this is there's no discipline in the homes, they don't go to school, you know, they live off the government, no personal accountability, and they just beat people up for no reason, and it's disgusting." - Former Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters
