Summary of Offense:
Timothy Scott Boyle was sentenced to death by lethal injection on March 12, 2010 for the 2005 murder of two-year-old Savannah White. Circuit Judge David Kimberley handed down the sentence. Boyle was convicted of capital murder in November 2009 and the jury recommended the death penalty.
Savannah White died from a series of blunt-force injuries to her head, testimony revealed during the trial. Savannah’s older sister testified she had seen Boyle slap the two-year-old around and throw her against a bathtub in the family’s Rainbow City home on October 26, 2005.
“The defendant’s actions in the brutal murder of this helpless child clearly fit within the parameters of the aggravating circumstances found by the jury to exist in this case,” Kimberly said in his judgment.
