VOLUSIA COUNT, Florida (WESH) — Two of the four men convicted in the 2004 Deltona mass murders are back in a Volusia County courtroom for resentencing.A jury sentenced Troy Victorino and Jerone Hunter to death but a judge overturned those sentences because the jury recommendations were not unanimous.That’s what the prosecution wanted.The new law allows juries to recommend death with an 8-4 vote but Judge Randall Rowe, presiding, ruled this hearing started before the new law was passed so the jury will have to be unanimous to recommend death.“They thought about it, intended to do it, killed 6 innocent victims,” prosecutor Andrew Urbanek said.The killers took metal bats and knives into the house on Telford Lane in August of 2004, murdered Erin Belanger, Michelle Nathan, Francisco Ayo-Roman, Anthony Vega, Roberto Gonzalez and Jonathan Gleason.Their dog was stomped to death. It’s a massacre so horrific, there was blood evidence in every room.Prosecutors say...

Tens of thousands of drivers who plead guilty or who were convicted of being drunk behind the wheel are getting a second chance thanks to a decision from Massachusetts’ highest court that has thrown breathalyzer tests into question. The ruling comes after one woman decided to keep fighting her case after she was stopped at a sobriety checkpoint in Beverly roughly 10 years ago. The woman’s attorney, Murat Erkan spoke with 7NEWS, saying his client took a breathalyzer test. “Not only did the machine say she failed, it said that she failed quite spectacularly,” Erkan said. “That caused her to doubt herself — ‘I mean the machine says I did it.’”Erkan said he advised the woman to plead guilty, which she did. Years later, though, they learned the breath machines were not routinely calibrated, raising questions about their accuracy. Erkan and his client decided to appeal the 2013 drunk driving case.“She understood how the public was harmed and the public trust...
