Prosecutors to seek death penalty for ex-Marine

Prosecutors are planning to seek the death penalty for a former Marine accused of killing a Navy petty officer in 2009, according to court documents.

Prosecutors said in a Wednesday court filing that they intend to pursue the death penalty against Jorge A. Torrez, a former Marine charged with first-degree murder in the July 2009 slaying of 20-year-old Amanda Snell, who was found dead in her Fort Myers-Henderson Hall barracks.
