Monday, June 27, 2023 (LEE COUNTY, Florida). 61-year-old Joseph Zieler, who was arrested in 2016, following a DNA match, for the 1990 Cape Coral, Florida suffocation murders of 11-year-old Robin Cornell and her babysitter Lisa Story, 32, whom he had also raped. A jury in May had recommended a sentence of death, which Zieler had appealed and was moments away from hearing the judge's decision on the appeal when Zieler asked to speak to his attorney. As the attorney leaned in to listen to his client, Zieler violently elbowed him in the face. The attorney, Kevin Shirley, appeared to be unfazed by the attack. The judge did not overturn the jury's recommendation of death.
