JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The State Attorney Office said the death penalty is still on the table for two Jacksonville men accused of murder in two separate cases.
On Thursday, a grand jury charged Chad Absher with the first-degree murder of Ashlee Rucker.
Prosecutors said Absher shot Rucker and her sister in front of their young children.
A grand jury also indicted Gerard Stewart after the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said he admitted to stabbing his wife to death and placing her body in the trunk of their car.
