4/4/17 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Ralph Wright Jr. v. State, SC14-2410
Mr. Wright was convicted of the first-degree murders of Paula O’Conner and her young son, Alijah O’Conner, which took place in 2007. Ms. O’Conner was strangled and the baby smothered. The jury voted 7-5 to recommend a death sentence for each murder and the trial court condemned Mr. Wright to death. This is his direct appeal.
