SANFORD, Fla. - A Florida man who killed his 18-year-old girlfriend and their unborn son after she refused to get an abortion is facing the death penalty.

Donovan Faison, 23, was convicted last week in the first-degree murder of Kaylin Fiengo, of killing an unborn child and of burglary with a firearm. The jury later voted 11-1 to sentence Faison to death, the Office of the State Attorney said in a news release Friday.

Faison shot Fiengo in the head as she sat in her car at Coastline Park in Sanford in 2022. Investigators discovered a bullet casing and an ultrasound image near Fiengo's body.

At trial, prosectors showed messages from their phones that showed Fiengo had texted Faison a photo of two positive pregnancy texts, to which he wrote back, "Abortion!!!"

Faison "erupted" at the news of the pregnancy, feeling "angry" and "pressured" because he was living with another woman at the time who suspected him of cheating, according to prosecutors.

When Fiengo refused to terminate the pregnancy, prosecutors said Faison texted a friend, "On my brothers grave, I’m gonna crop her out."

Further text messages showed Faison then lured Fiengo to a meeting at the park where he shot her dead, prosecutors said.

Only she didn’t wake up.

I don't think they can. I believe that the Supreme Court in in its Infinite Wisdom ruled a death penalty Jury recommendation had to be unanimous. This Jury voted 11-1 for the death penalty. This is what saved the school shooter from down South.

Florida man again

A case of "black man again" would be much more accurate. Black thugs killing their white girlfriends when they become inconvenient seems to be the norm these days. Not that I have much sympathy for any girl with such a choice of partner.
