CHERISH PERRYWINKLE, 8, MURDERED - FLORIDA
#15
Death Penalty

The jurors took less than 15 minutes on February 14th, 2018 to find Donald J. Smith guilty of kidnapping, raping and killing 8-year-old Cherish Perrywinkle in June 2013.

On February 22nd, 2018 the jurors swiftly and unanimously agreed to recommend the death penalty.

The final sentencing is up to Circuit Judge Mallory Cooper, but she is expected to follow the jury’s recommendation.

In his final argument, prosecutor Mark Caliel recapped the events surrounding Cherish’s murder. “The death penalty is appropriate. The death penalty is just. The death penalty is what he deserves for what he did to that little girl,” he said.
