Trial in stabbing deaths of former Lakeland commissioner and her husband

Marcelle Jerrill Waldon appeared in court Friday on murder charges as his case continued its way toward a jury trial amid changes to Florida’s capital punishment laws. 

Waldon, 38, was indicted by a grand jury on first-degree murder charges and other crimes on Dec. 1, 2020, in connection with the killings of David Henderson and Edie Yates Henderson in their Lake Morton Drive home on Nov. 10. 

In addition, Waldon was charged with the burglary of the home of Publix heiress Julie Jenkins Fancelli, which took place two days prior to the Hendersons’ deaths. 

A jury trial is set for Jan. 15. Judge J. Kevin Abdoney had asked both sides appear for the status hearing on Friday. Waldon did appear in court.
