John Reese is a black man who has been
on death row in the state of Florida since 06/25/93.
Crime
He was convicted of 1st Degree Murder
in the commission of a felony, committed on 01/28/92. The evidence presented at trial reveals that Reese dated Jackie Grier on
and off for seven years; the victim had been Grier's best friend for
approximately two and a half years. Reese was extremely possessive and
disliked Austin because of the amount of time Grier spent with her.
Grier and Austin had begun making trips to Georgia where, unknown to
Reese, both had met new boyfriends. They returned from the last of
these trips on Monday, January 27, 1992. On Wednesday of the same
week, Grier was concerned because she could not reach Austin by phone,
and she and a neighbor went to Austin's house and entered through the
unlocked back door. They found Austin lying face down in the bedroom,
covered with a sheet. She had been strangled with an electrical
extension cord that was doubled and wrapped around her neck twice with
the ends pulled through the loop
