A 31-year-old man was sentenced to death Saturday morning for the fatal shooting of a teenage babysitter who had accused him of rape.
Franklin Davis smiled when Judge Mike Snipes announced the verdict.
Prior to the murder, Davis called and texted the victim pretending to be a man named “D” and asked her about the alleged rapes.
Davis also sent himself fake texts denying the sexual assault that appeared to come from the victims' phone
In closing arguments, prosecutors said Davis’ past – including the murder, his repeated assaults of women and his assault of a guard when he escaped while in custody – show he is a future danger.
