2 Dubose Brothers found guilty of first-degree murder

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Less than 24
hours after Rasheem Dubose was found guilty of first-degree murder in
the shooting death of 8-year-old Dreshawna Davis, his two younger
brothers also learned they were guilty of murder.Late Friday
morning, Judge Page Haddock opened verdicts against Tajuan and Terrell
Dubose he ordered sealed more than three weeks earlier when the first
trial of Rasheem Dubose ended in a mistrial.The three brothers
were accused of firing 29 shots into the home of Dreshawna's grandmother
in July 2006 in an act of retaliation, targeting Dreshawna's uncle, who
had robbed and humiliated one of the brothers earlier that day. While prosecutors maintained that the Dubose brothers fired into the house
trying to kill Dreshawna's uncle, Willie Davis Jr., defense attorneys
said others also had motive to kill, including a cousin.In
addition to murder, the separate juries also found the three guilty of
firing into an occupied dwelling.The state has said they intend
to seek the death penalty against each of them, but immediately after
the verdict was read, court remained in session to discuss motions,
including one by Tajaun Dubose's attorney asking that he not face the
death penalty because he fired the fewest shots. That motion was
denied.Attorneys for both Terrell and Tajuan Dubose asked for
separate sentencing hearings, but that request was also denied. State Attorney Angela Corey's office told Channel 4's Vickie Pierre that no
plea agreements were considered in this case because they death penalty
should be an option for the punishment of the Dubose brothers.That's
a decision supported by Dreshawna's paternal grandmother, Carlas
Washington."I feel they should have the death penalty because
they took my grandbaby, so they need to go, too," Washington said.A
sentencing hearing for Terrell and Tajuan Dubose is scheduled for March
2. A hearing for Rasheem Dubose is scheduled for March 9.Shalindell
Wilson, the Duboses' mother, said the trial should not have been held
in Duval County."It was not a fair trial from the beginning,"
Wilson said. "I mean, these people is from Jacksonville. They from
Jacksonville, and they should've had moved this thing somewhere else
where nobody else don't know."
