A Bay County killer asked the Florida Supreme Court to spare his life Wednesday.
Defense attorney Linda McDermott appealed on behalf of Mark Allen Geralds. He murdered Cove housewife Tressa Pettibone at her home in February 1989.
McDermott argued the F-D-L-E lab testing notes were not made available to the original defense lawyers. She claims those notes contained D-N-A such as finger prints, hair and blood samples that didn’t match any family members or the accused killed, Geralds.
Her argument places an unknown person at the crime scene.
Geralds has made a number of appearances in front of the State Supreme Court.
The justices took the latest appeal under advisement and did not issue a timetable as to when a decision would be made.

I sat through this whole trial way back when. I agree with Lisa--Mr. Geralds got 19-years more than he deserves. Why is he still breathing? And, as Lisa said, "Where is Mrs. Pettibone's appeal?"

19 more years than Tressa Pettibone got. He should have been executed long time ago. Death row is really just life in prison especially with all the appeals. Where was Mrs. Pettibone's appeal?
