He was convicted of the 1992 murder of his wife, Karen Spencer, at their home in Orange County, Florida. This is the full story behind the case: a marriage that collapsed into violence, a threat Spencer made from a jail cell, and Karen's teenage son, who grabbed a rifle and tried to stop the attack as it happened. It's also the story of how Spencer was sent to death row on a divided 7-to-5 jury vote — a recommendation Florida's current law would no longer allow — and the more than 30 years of appeals that followed, all the way to the United States Supreme Court. The Execution Files documents the real cases behind capital punishment in the United States: the crimes, the trials, and the questions they leave behind. #DeathRow #DeathPenalty #DeathRowDocumentary eXHS6Kd0pVE 3dQ0yoyqw4T o02MZsQua7w EcDCB4gZRST o4JM1ZXvKTc xx0UE6Bdkvg
