Florida Prosecutor Seeking the Death Penalty: A Florida prosecutor says that he will be seeking the death penalty in the case of a man who is being charged with the murder of his pregnant girlfriend and a police officer. According to Fox News, State Attorney Brad King filed notice of intent Monday to seek the death penalty in the case of Markeith Loyd. Loyd was arrested after a week-long manhunt in January following the murder of his pregnant ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon and the slaying of an Orlando police officer Lt. Debra Clayton. The current Orlando State Attorney Aramis Ayala announced her unwillingness to seek capital punishment in this case or any other, so Gov. Rick Scott reassigned this and 21 other cases to a nearby circuit where King could deal with them. According to this story in Politico, liberal hedge fund billionaire George Soros pumped nearly $1.4 million in to Ayala's campaign to elect her last November.
