MIAMI (TCN) — A man who was sentenced to death in 2007 for leaving a 5-year-old girl to be killed by alligators is facing a death penalty resentencing trial after his previous death sentence was vacated in 2017.
On Nov. 7, 1998, Harrel Braddy, now 76, kidnapped Shandelle Maycock and her daughter Quatisha Maycock. He beat Shandelle Maycock and left her by a highway, the Miami Herald reports. She survived, but Quatisha Maycock did not. Braddy dumped her into the water along a stretch of road in the Everglades known as Alligator Alley. Her body, which had been mauled by alligators, was found by fishermen a few days later.
