Orange County Judge Julie O'Kane (Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida) vacated the death sentence of Derrick McLean because he was sentenced to death years ago without a unanimous jury decision. McLean, now 39, Black, was sentenced to death by a 9-3 jury vote for the murder of 16-year-old Jahvon Thompson during a home invasion in 2004. The case is scheduled for another status hearing in early May.
