ORLANDO — A Florida man allegedly high on drugs he received for his birthday walked out of an Orlando hospital early Sunday morning, broke into a nearby home and fatally stabbed the well-known county attorney living there, authorities said.

William Ramon Franklin, 33, is charged with first-degree murder and burglary of a dwelling with assault or battery, according to Orange County jail records. He is being held without bond.

The victim, Erin Elizabeth Hartigan, 44, was an assistant attorney for the Orange County Attorney’s Office, Orlando police officials said Monday at a news conference.

This won’t make news other than local mention - the killer is a black male and the victim is white female ..

One of the better written news articles I’ve read in ages. Lots of information to process. Wonder what kind of drugs? Sounds like another case of bath salts.

>> Florida will kill him back ...

Yeah, right - in a decade or two - after a few million spent on do-gooder lawyers.

No, shortly after midnight he turned 33. He then admitted himself to the hospital due to a bad reaction from drugs he had received for his birthday. Then he walked away from the hospital at about 4:20 A.M. But I suspect he will spend his 34th and remaining birthdays doing life without parole. Either that or he will be released from prison after a few months because of the risk of contracting Covid-19. 8>P

I've done a ton of drugs but nothing that ever made me want to climb through a window and stab someone to death.

Maybe I just never did the right drugs?

Almost what I was thinking, almost sounds like community service. Wasn’t it from Shakespeare that said “Kill all lawyers”?

she worked for the county and city, both of which are run by libtards. I’d say she’s a libtard. probably invited him in.

Sad that it ended this way.

The incident appears to be random, said Sgt. William Cail.

“We have not been able to establish any connection between the victim and the suspect,” he said.

Color me suspicious about this.

As a general rule county attorney do tend to interact with people who enjoy recreational drugs rather frequently. So unless he was new to the area or she was I would share your suspicion.
