    Cannon Appeals Death Sentence in Christmas Eve Murder

    By Julie Montanaro
    WCTV

    A Gadsden County man on death row for a Christmas Eve murder is appealing that sentence to the Florida Supreme Court.

    Marvin Cannon was sentenced to death for the 2010 murder of Zachariah Morgan.

    Investigators say Morgan walked into a trap and was stabbed more than 30 times when he and a friend showed up to pick up some deer corn.

    Cannon's attorney argued before the state Supreme Court today.

    Defense attorney Baya Harrison claims the death sentence is cruel and unusual punishment and is disproportionate to the life sentence given to Cannon's co-defendant Antone McMillan.

    Harrison claims there was insufficient evidence to sustain accompanying robbery and attempted robbery convictions as well as errors in the jury instructions.
