GREEN COVE SPRINGS – For the second time in 13 years, a jury found Michael Renard Jackson guilty of first-degree murder and rape of a veterinarian technician in 2007.

And for the second time, Andrea Boyer’s family went through a penalty phase to determine whether Jackson will be returned to Death Row.

This time, however, the result was different.

Although a jury sentenced Jackson to death 13 years ago, a new jury on Wednesday decided he would spend the rest of his life in prison. It all came after they heard the graphic details of the 25-year-old’s murder and compelling victim impact statements.

The defense argued since Boyer may have been unconscious or dead when she was raped, she wasn’t able to feel pain. They also contended Williams suffered with mental problems.

Andrea’s sister, Amber Coughlin, tearfully read a victim impact statement, telling the jury she loved working with Andrea at the animal clinic. She then told them it’s where Andrea “took her last breath.” She also painfully said “I wasn’t there to protect her.”

A Clay County jury took 90 minutes to find Jackson guilty of raping, strangling and beating Boyer with a fire extinguisher in 2007 shortly after she got to work. Then they voted 9-3 for death.

Although Jackson originally testified the sex was conventual, he said he did not kill the woman. Added with a previous rape conviction and DNA evidence on a fire extinguisher that was used to strike the back of her head five times, the jury took a day-and-a-half to decide they did not believe him.

The latest verdict came four days short of the 13-year anniversary of Jackson’s original conviction in 2010.

Although Jackson was given the death penalty, the Florida Supreme Court voted 5-2 to overthrow the conviction after it determined a lengthy interrogation by Clay County Sheriff’s Office detectives and comments made by detectives on the stand prejudiced the jury. The court said detectives repeatedly told Jackson he “without a shadow of doubt” was guilty.

After being convicted on Saturday, Jackson returned to the courthouse on Tuesday for the penalty phase. After his attorneys attempted to temper some of the comments expected from family members and friends of Boyer, the state implored the jury to sentence Jackson to death. The jury’s only other option is life without the possibility of parole. This time, the vote had to be unanimous if the jury chose death.

The state argued Jackson deserved to die because the rape and murder occurred while he was on probation for the previous rape. Skinner told the jury there were four aggravated circumstances that warranted death, including the crime was “heinous, atrocious and cruel.”

He reminded the jury the medical examiner testified Boyer was struck five times in the back of the head with the fire extinguisher.

“The fire extinguisher has one purpose and that’s to save lives,” Skinner said. “He used it to take one. Heinous. Atrocious. Cruel.”

The jury must agree unanimously to impose the death penalty. It took them only took 90 minutes to decide against sending him to Death Row.

Defense attorney Beth Samons told jurors Jackson should sit in prison for the rest of his life because they’ve already “delivered justice” by convicting Jackson.

“He will never leave the shackles or prison,” she said. “He will die there. All murders are horrible. All murders are tragic.”

In his closing argument, Skinner said, “It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for their actions.”

Jackson will be formally sentenced on March 13.
