Man Gets Death For Leaving Girl For Alligators
 MIAMI -- The man accused of leaving a 5-year-old girl to be eaten alive by alligators in the Everglades has been sentenced to death. Harrel Braddy attacked Quatisha Maycock and her mother after he was released early from prison in another case for good behavior. He was convicted in July of first-degree murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, attempted escape and other charges.He was also sentenced Monday to three consecutive life terms on the kidnapping and burglary with an assault charges. He also received 30 years in prison on the attempted murder of the girl's mother, Shandelle Maycock, 15 years on child neglect causing great bodily harm and five years on attempted escape. Prosecutors said Braddy tossed Maycock in the trunk of his car in 1998 and drove her to a remote sugarcane field, choked her to unconsciousness and left her to die. She never saw her child again. The case took so long because Braddy repeatedly fired his lawyers and occasionally represented himself in court. Posted by: anonymous5089 2007-10-16 |
