The Florida Supreme Court vacated the death sentence of Corey Smith, 36, Black. The Court issued an order, citing Hurst, vacating the death sentence and remanding to the circuit court for a new penalty phase to Smith because he had been sentenced to death for two counts of murder based on jury votes of 10-2 and 9-3. On March 17, 2005, Smith received two sentences of life in prison for his involvement in the murders of Jackie Pope and Leon Hadley. On March 24, 2005 Smith received two sentences of death in Miami-Dade County for his involvement in the murders of Cynthia Brown (July 24, 1997) and Angel Wilson (December 1, 1998).
