ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – A judge has outlined the evidence that can be presented to the jury in the upcoming penalty phase of Markeith Loyd’s murder trial, allowing the defense to show a two-minute video of his violent arrest that resulted in the loss of his left eye.
Attorneys reconvened Tuesday to argue which pieces of evidence they would like the jury to see during the penalty phase, which is set to begin Nov.
29. Loyd was found guilty on five charges, including first-degree murder, in the shooting death of Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton in 2017 while he was on the run after killing his pregnant ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon in December 2016.
