Jury Recommends Execution Of Columbus Man Found Guilty In Fatal Stabbings Of Daughter And Mother

Columbus Division of Police

A Franklin County jury has recommended the death penalty for a Columbus man convicted earlier this month of killing his 4-year-old daughter and her mother last year. 

26-year-old Kristofer Garrett is scheduled for sentencing on August  22nd. Prosecutors say he killed 34-year-old Nicole Duckson and their daughter outside of their Fleet Road home.  His attorneys say Garrett is mentally ill, and the product of an abusive, neglectful childhood.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
