Overview
- The Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office, which announced its decision this week, will seek the death penalty if Susan Avalon is convicted of first-degree murder.
- Investigators say she shot Timothy Fletcher around noon on Dec. 17 in Tampa, then drove to Bradenton and shot David Scott about three hours later.
- Deputies say her reply of "Which one?" when asked about an ex-husband led Tampa police to do a welfare check that found Fletcher dead.
- She has pleaded not guilty to first-degree and second-degree murder charges, and her next court date is July 9.
- Florida allows a death sentence if at least eight of 12 jurors recommend it, and only two women have been executed in the state since the 1970s.
