A jury on Tuesday said Marcelle Jerrill Waldon should die for the murders of former City Commissioner Edie Yates Henderson and her husband, David Henderson, in their Lake Morton home in November 2020.
The jury vote was 11-1. Under a new state law, a death sentence only requires an 8-4 jury vote.
Circuit Judge J. Kevin Abdoney will have the final say on Waldon’s sentence. He can go against the jury’s death recommendation and impose life in prison, but cannot go against a jury’s recommendation for life.
