Lee Circuit Judge Robert Branning was following last month's 10-2 jury recommendation in favor of death for Joseph Zieler, according to court records. The same panel had found Zieler, 61, guilty of two counts of first-degree murder.
Before the sentence, however, Zieler elbowed his attorney in the face, prompting Lee County deputies to tackle Zieler.
Feisty old coot should at least get a little credit for pounding on a shyster lawyer.
