    Convicted killer sentenced to death

    A convicted killer from Escambia County was sentenced to death Monday for the 2011 murder of Tina Jones.

    Cedric Jerome Floyd, 32, was initially found guilty on Oct. 7, 2013 of shooting and killing Jones just after midnight on January 2, 2011.

    Evidence presented at trial shows Floyd climbed through Jones’ bedroom window just after midnight and shot her in the back. He then fired two shots at Jones execution-style as she was trying to flee.

    The jury recommended a death sentence by a 11 to 1 vote.

    “This is a heartbreaking and appalling situation, in which the victim tried desperately to save herself and was viciously killed by someone who had threatened and abused her for years,” Alabama Attorney General Strange said. “If any case demands the death penalty, it is this, and today’s sentence is an important step to bring a measure of justice to Tina Jones and her family.”

    Floyd had previously been convicted for first-degree rape.

    Floyd pleads to escape III

    The Atmore man who is on death row for the shooting death of his girlfriend in 2011 pleaded guilty to escape III in the latest Escambia County Court Docket jury term.

    Cedric Floyd escaped from the Escambia County Detention Center in October 2012. Following a massive manhunt, Floyd was captured the next day in Pensacola, Fla.

    The escape took place while Floyd was waiting for trial for the shooting.

    Floyd was indicted in February 2013 on the escape charge.

    For his plea deal, Floyd has been sentenced to 25 years to run concurrent with the sentence he is serving for the capital murder and other charges.

    Escape III is a class C felony.

    New sentencing ordered for Alabama Death Row inmate Cedric Jerome Floyd

    The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals has directed a judge to redo the sentencing order for a man sentenced to die for killing his ex-girlfriend in 2011.

    Appellate judges on Friday ruled that Cedric Jerome Floyd should get a new sentencing order. The court ruled that the judge who sentenced Floyd to the death penalty failed to adequately explain the finding, as required by law, that the crime was particularly heinous and warranted a death sentence.

    Floyd was convicted of killing Tina Jones in 2011. The jury in the case recommended a death sentence by an 11-1 vote.

    The appellate court upheld the conviction. The decision did not remove the prospect of a death sentence, but said the judge needed to better explain the decision.
