TALLAHASSEE — The Florida Supreme Court on Thursday upheld the conviction and death sentence of a Holmes County man sentenced to death last year after he was convicted of kidnapping a woman and burning her alive.
Johnny Mack Skeeto Calhoun was convicted of kidnapping Mia Brown from the convenience store where she worked in December 2010 and driving her to rural Alabama, where he put her in the trunk of a car and set the car on fire. A jury recommended capital punishment by a 9-3 vote.
