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.

Tressa had 20 minutes to plead for her life and this idiot has had 20 plus years now. Where is the justice? Why is he able to drag the victims family back for all of his appeals? Its time to strap this monster down and be done with it so he can rot in hell.
Wake up and do something, I can't afford another birthday party for this man.
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?"
