Man gets death for leaving girl to be eaten by alligators

MIAMI - A judge sentenced a man to death Monday, nearly nine years after he left a 5-year-old girl to be eaten alive by alligators in the Everglades and tried to kill her mother.

Harrel Franklin Braddy, 58, attacked Shandelle Maycock and daughter Quatisha after he was released early from prison in another case for good behavior. He was convicted in July of first-degree murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, attempted escape and other charges.

Judge Leonard E. Glick also sentenced Braddy to three consecutive life terms on the kidnapping and burglary with an assault charges. He also got 30 years in prison on the attempted murder of Shandelle, 15 years on child neglect causing great bodily harm and five years on attempted escape.

Prosecutors said Braddy tossed Maycock in the trunk of his car in 1998 and drove her to a remote sugarcane field, choked her to unconsciousness and left her to die. She never saw her child again.

Braddy drove the girl to a section of Interstate 75 in the Everglades known as Alligator Alley and dropped her in the water beside the road, prosecutors said. She was alive when alligators bit her on the head and stomach, a medical examiner said.

Authorities found the girl's body two days later, her left arm missing and her skull crushed, prosecutors said. Maycock woke up bleeding and disoriented, but managed to flag down help.

Braddy's attorney, G.P. Della Fera, said Braddy knew Maycock from his involvement in church outreach programs.

"I'm saddened for both families," Della Fera said.

The case took so long because Braddy repeatedly fired his lawyers and represented himself in court sometimes.

Maycock sobbed during the initial sentencing as she told jurors how her life without her only child would never be the same. The little girl she nicknamed Candy had just started kindergarten and loved writing her name and singing along with the church choir.

Prosecutor Abbe Rifkin said Braddy got the appropriate sentence.

"Due to his own horrific actions, Harrel Braddy has caused a lot of pain to a lot of people, including the people who loved him and cared for him," Rifkin said in an e-mail. "The State is grateful that Quatisha's small voice was finally heard, and that the defendant received the sentence he so rightfully earned."

Braddy had been out of prison for a little over a year before the 1998 kidnapping. He was released early after serving 13 years of a 30-year sentence for several charges including attempted murder.

He wore an electric shock device and knee brace, making it difficult for him to bend his knee during the sentencing. The courtroom was filled with extra police officers, all measures taken after Braddy escaped from the courthouse in 1984 when he choked a Miami-Dade County corrections officer.

During two other escapes that year, Braddy kidnapped and robbed an assistant pastor and an elderly couple. At one point Braddy was on the run for more than a month before authorities found him in Georgia.

After he was arrested for kidnapping the Maycocks, he tried to escape from the interrogation room by bending an air conditioning grate.

I heard about this on KQRS this morning. I laughed pretty loud and agreed when they said this guy can't fry soon enough.

I read that this morning... Made me sick to my stomach. The fact that they found the girl's body after alligators had their way with her is horrific.

Throw the switch and turn him into an easy bake.

Or toss him into the everglades.

Eww.

That guy should have been killed after he killed his first person. How do you kill someone in the first degree and get 30 years? Let alone get parolled after only 13?

No, outreach program, it's different. Churches frequently go out into the community and help out, some go to prisons for counseling and such. This didn't turn out so well.

This guy should fry.

[runninW.O.T.]

Hang him High!!!

[1ViciousGSX]

Fry that piece of shit until he is burnt beyond recognition.

Somebody will have to explain this one to me.

$40k a year to house them versus what $50 in lethal injection supplies? It's not like you have to use anything special to fight off infection and whatnot.

[TkrPerformance]

it is all the extra stuff the us has to do when they get a death row sentance and can be on there for 20+ years
I will get all the info from ali

the numbers were a huge diffrentce for life or death

yeah me too. Fuck it, buy a 10 cent bullet and use a gun that you already have and call it done. Is it really cruel and unusual punishment, Either way they are dead and gone, its not like they are going to have feelings after its done.

The whole problem is the time it takes to put some meaningless pile of shit to death. We can all admit there are cases that require time and probably an appeal or 2 to make sure we have the right guy, and even these days we see that guys who didn't end up doing it can sit in prisin for 10 years and when free'd they make bank.

But for those who are 150% guilty, we should have 5 guys lined up with guns. 1 random guy gets the bullet, 4 don't. All fire close range head shots and end that shit. There are people out there who wouldn't think twice about pulling the trigger all day in a 8 hours shift.

[tpunx99GSX]

In china they have an executioner on wheels. Guilty man walks in, body bag gets carried out, simple quick and clean. Move on to the next bus stop.
