Wessinger’s Death Sentence Upheld | Baton Rouge News
Description
Todd Wessinger’s bid to overturn his death sentence for the 1995 restaurant robbery murders of Stephanie Guzzardo and David Breakwell has been denied by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, marking a major legal setback and a victory for the victims’ families and Louisiana prosecutors who’ve pursued justice for decades. The court ruled his new legal arguments were not novel and had already been addressed by state courts, reversing a prior decision that granted him some relief. With this ruling, Wessinger remains on death row as authorities assess next steps in the case.
