ORIGINAL STORY

On Tuesday, we expect prosecutors to talk about the use of force by Orlando police during Loyd’s arrest, telling the jury that should not factor in their decision when they decide if Loyd should be sent to death row.

The defense will try to sway the jury by saying Loyd has already suffered a tough childhood, time in prison and the loss of his eye.

On Monday, Orlando‘s District 5 Commissioner Regina Hill told the jury what Clayton meant to her.

“She was the hope of the hopeless,” Hill said. “That void had yet to be filled, if ever.”

The goal for prosecutors is to set the stage for a death sentence.
