MIAMI — A man accused of killing a South Florida minister and her grandson back in 2013 has taken a plea deal. It comes a week after he had an outburst in court.
Reginald Jackson, 40, and Roderick Martin, 39, were charged in the murders of 70-year-old Annette Anderson and 20-year-old Tyrone Walker Jr. in Miami Gardens.
Jackson will get 40 years in prison, while Martin will get 25.
Jackson had had an expletive-laden outburst in court during a previous hearing, claiming he was upset that his family wasn’t in the courtroom for him to accept the plea deal.
A motive for the crime remains unclear. Jackson’s attorney, Jimmy Dellafera, said he never told him.
“It’s difficult to pose any questions, as a defense lawyer, to a defendant and many times you don’t know,” Dellafera said. “You don’t really want to be in a position as a defense counsel to have your client confess to you”
The victims’ loved ones declined to comment.
