    A Kissimmee man was sentenced to death Friday in Osceola County for killing his 77-year-old neighbor more than two years ago.

    Todd Zommer, 36, was sentenced to death. Jurors had earlier voted 10 to 2 that Zommer receive the death penalty.

    Zommer was convicted in December of first-degree murder in the stabbing and beating of L. Corinne Robinson at her home in April 2005.

    In a jailhouse interview two years ago, Zommer told the Orlando Sentinel he killed Robinson because she saw him steal a boat and he feared she might report him.

    Florida Supreme Court upholds death sentence for man who brutally murdered 77-year-old Osceola woman

    By Susan Jacobson
    The Orlando Sentinel

    The Florida Supreme Court today upheld a death sentence for a man who brutally murdered an Osceola County woman by beating her, strangling and kicking her and finally cutting her throat.

    Todd Zommer confessed to several people, including several with whom he took drugs around the time of the murder, the court opinion shows.

    Zommer, 38, murdered Lois Corrine Robinson, 77, at her home north of Kissimmee on May 17, 2005. He confessed in graphic detail to killing her because he thought she had seen him steal a boat. The victim, known as Corrine, knew Zommer and lent him $20 the day he killed her.
