Ernest Whitfield Florida

Ernest Whitfield is a black man who has been on death row in the state of Florida since 10/20/95.

Crime

He was convicted of Premeditated 1st Degree Murder, committed on 06/19/95.

At trial, evidence was presented to establish the following. In early June 1995, Whitfield went to the home of Claretha Reynolds. He asked Reynolds, Willie Mae Brooks, and Estella Pierre for money. Pierre was Whitfield's former girlfriend. When none of them would give him any money, he tried to snatch Pierre's purse. Reynolds grabbed Whitfield in a headlock and forcibly ejected him from her home. Whitfield told them as he left: “I'm going to kill all three of you bitches.”

Several weeks later, in the early morning hours of June 19, 1995, Whitfield attempted to get Willie Mae Brooks to let him in Reynolds' house. Brooks refused and went back to sleep in the bed she shared with her one-year-old child. Whitfield subsequently unlawfully entered Reynolds' home. Armed with an eight-inch knife, he entered the bedroom in which Brooks was sleeping and raped Brooks, indicating that he would stab her and her child if she screamed. Whitfield then went into a different room where Reynolds and her five children were located. About ten minutes later, Reynolds stumbled into Brooks's room and asked her to lock the door. She was bleeding profusely from her wounds and told Brooks that she was dying and that Ernest had stabbed her. Brooks and one of Reynolds' children, a twelve-year-old, climbed out the window and ran to a neighbor's house to call police. Whitfield fled the scene. Reynolds died shortly after police arrived.

After he was apprehended, Whitfield admitted stabbing Reynolds and led police to the murder weapon.
