I remember it well. I was a teenager in Tallahassee, and it hit very close to home.

I'm trying to piece together the details. Wasn't it the youngest Isaacs brother whose sentence was commuted? Who are the two serving life? I think Dungee is one of them, but who is the other? If it's the oldest Isaacs brother, I'm surprised he didn't get a death sentence.

Isaacs, George Dundee and Wayne Coleman who had escaped from a Maryland prison, murdered Ned Alday, Jimmy Alday, Jerry Alday, Chester Alday, Aubrey ALday and Mary Alday. Isaacs' younger brother, Billy Isaacs, also present during the murders, was sentenced to 20 years for armed robbery and 20 years for burglary. Billy Isaacs was released from prison in 1993. Dungee and Coleman, originally sentenced to death, were later resentenced and are currently serving life sentences.

Billy was 15 at the time of the murders. He turned state's evidence, served 20 years, released in 1993, thought to be married and living in Florida. Carl Isaacs was 19 and will be put to death tonight! Wayne Coleman, older half-brother to Billy and Carl was sentenced to death, on appeal was commuted to life w/o payroll. Dungee was also sentenced to die but his sentence was commuted to life. Several years after the convictions, Georgia passed a law that prevented mentally challenged persons from being executed. That was the basis for Dundee's appeal.
