50 Shades of Evil: Florida

Show Notes
Transcript

Wayne C. Doty, is a Florida death row inmate whose life of violence spans two brutal murders and a shocking request for execution by electric chair—the only prisoner in the state to make that choice. Serving a life sentence for the 1996 fatal shooting of night watchman Harvey Horne II during a drug-fueled robbery at a Plant City manufacturing plant, Doty escalated his crimes in 2011 by stabbing and strangling fellow inmate Xavier Rodriguez to death alongside accomplice William E. Wells. Pleading guilty without remorse, Doty openly stated he’d kill again if given the chance, leading to a death sentence.

of fifty Shades of Evil. Last week I dropped the

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.079
inaugural episode and I brought you to Texas. I told

10
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.920
you everything there was to know about Billy Joel Tracy,

11
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:54.319
from his upbringing to his crimes to the convictions that followed.

12
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:58.760
Thank you to everyone that listened and shared a ton

13
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.640
of response regarding that first episode in this series. And

14
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.359
today I am continuing as I bring you to Florida

15
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.599
in the story of Wayne C. Dody, who in nineteen

16
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.639
ninety six was sentenced to life in prison for the

17
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:17.479
first degree murder of Harvey Horn the Second, a night

18
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.840
watchman that he shot during a drug related robbery in

19
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.680
Plant City, Florida. Then, in twenty eleven, while serving a

20
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:30.800
life sentence for that murder at Florida State Prison, Doty

21
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.599
in an accomplice another very dangerous guy by the name

22
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:40.080
of William Wells murdered a fellow inmate named Xavier Rodriguez.

23
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.479
He was sentenced to death for that murder and has

24
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:49.800
advocated for his own execution via electric chair ever since.

25
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.560
It's an unbelievable story coming to you today, So let's

26
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.159
jump right into it, and I'm going to take you

27
00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:01.879
first to Pueblo, Colorado, where on April twelfth of nineteen

28
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:07.319
seventy three, Wayne Duddy was born to biological parents, Randal

29
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.680
Duty and Mary Cole. Now, from all accounts, from his birth,

30
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:17.639
things were pretty dysfunctional and the relationship already strained between

31
00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:22.919
Wayne Doty's mother and father, so much so that before

32
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.479
Wayne Doty was two years old, his father, Randall, took

33
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:31.439
him and left the family home, permanently separating Wayne from

34
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:35.520
his mother. Now, according to his biological mother, she and

35
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.840
Randall had gotten into an argument. She left to go

36
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.120
to the grocery store, and upon her return they were gone,

37
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:47.319
No note, no nothing. She would call the police, and

38
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.280
the police would say, hey, he's the biological father, and

39
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:57.280
so it wouldn't be considered kidnapping. You know, that sounds

40
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.919
really bizarre to me, especially these days, But that was

41
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.800
a different time, right, this was the late seventies, and

42
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.439
that's her story and she's sticking to it, and she

43
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:12.199
would not see her son, Wayne Doty for over twenty

44
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.959
years after that. Now, obviously Wayne Doty very well. He

45
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.480
was a baby back then, at just two years old,

46
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.720
and this did nothing for his stability. And during the

47
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:28.480
next five years, Randall Dody, his father would remarry multiple times,

48
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:33.600
and Wayne would obviously be exposed to multiple stepmothers. So look,

49
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.839
you'll get no argument for me that this instability, the

50
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.800
lack of a permanent mother, if you will, the fact

51
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.240
from all accounts that his father had his own issues,

52
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:50.040
I have no doubt that certainly shape his early adolescence

53
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:53.319
to where I guess the deck was already getting stacked

54
00:04:53.480 --> 00:04:56.720
against him. He just wasn't dealt a good deck of cards.

55
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.079
But does it excuse what would occur later on in

56
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:04.079
his life. Not in my view, absolutely not. Many people

57
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:09.040
grow up in unstable households, even from a super early age,

58
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.000
and they don't kill people. That's just the facts. But

59
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:15.759
it certainly is not a deck of cards that you

60
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:18.199
will want to get dealt. So by the time Wayne

61
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.639
was seven, things would escalate even more as it relates

62
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.160
to his home life, there were reports of severe domestic violence.

63
00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:32.879
Several stepmothers would testify in Wayne's initial trial that will

64
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.639
get to later, and they would state that his father, Randall,

65
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.439
would not only physically abuse them, but would physically abuse

66
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.720
Wayne as well. One of his stepmothers, by the name

67
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.319
of Anne Hurdle, would state that Randall's abuse was so

68
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:52.879
severe that it would interfere with Wayne Dodi's daily life,

69
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.720
such as going to school. He would have bruises from

70
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.439
these beatings that he would get, and he wouldn't be

71
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.360
able to go to school because guess what if they

72
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.839
see you with a black eye or with a broken

73
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.920
arm or something like that, what are they gonna do.

74
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.319
They're gonna ask questions. So he would have to stay

75
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.480
home from school. That would affect his education. And all

76
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.720
of this was prior to the age of ten years old.

77
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.240
The abuse would then intensify further between the years of

78
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:28.199
nineteen eighty three. In nineteen eighty six, when Wayne was

79
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.160
just ten to thirteen years old, Wayne would then start

80
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.399
skipping school, hanging with the wrong crowds. His dad didn't

81
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.199
appear to give a shit. You could see this kid

82
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.120
was already starting to unravel very early in his life.

83
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:50.160
So what do you think would happen at that point. Well,

84
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.680
by the time he hit his teenage years, you're probably

85
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.360
already thinking he's gonna start drinking, he's going to start

86
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:02.959
abusing drugs. That's exactly what happened. And around the age

87
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:08.399
of seventeen, he actually has had enough. He comes home

88
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.839
one day he sees his father beating the shit out

89
00:07:11.839 --> 00:07:14.759
of his stepmother. He was quoted later on as saying

90
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:16.839
if he would have had a gun at that time,

91
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.600
he would have killed his dad. And he knew that,

92
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.920
and he said it kind of freaked him out, so

93
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:26.279
he just laughed. And they were living in Florida at

94
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.600
the time. So he leaves, moves in with a friend,

95
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.560
and that is where things would really start kind of

96
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.600
falling off the rails for Wayne Duty. So before we

97
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.680
get into that, I'm going to tell you about a

98
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.720
resident of Plant City, Florida, by the name of Harvey Horn.

99
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:50.079
And Harvey Horn was born in nineteen fifty nine and

100
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.360
he grew up in the Plant City area. Now, his

101
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:58.480
parents were blue collar people, hard workers. They raised him

102
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.360
to work hard and it's family had deep roots in

103
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.879
the Plant City Florida area, so he would grow up

104
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:08.279
to be a welder and he would focus on a

105
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.720
high paying trade to make his way in life. From

106
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.720
all accounts, and as a matter of fact, from his

107
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.720
own son, his son had said he prioritized his role

108
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:22.240
as a father, took it very seriously, and he would

109
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.839
go about life, you know, in a blue collar type

110
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.800
of way until he would cross paths with Wayne Duddy.

111
00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:32.639
So I'm going to take you back to early April

112
00:08:32.679 --> 00:08:36.720
of nineteen ninety six. At this time, Harvey was thirty

113
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.519
seven years old and he was working for a company

114
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:47.039
called Hardy Manufacturing Company. They manufactured agricultural equipment in Plant City, Florida.

115
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.960
He was also a night watchman for this company and

116
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.080
he was a foreman as a welder for them as well.

117
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.840
And the night watchman gig worked out well for Harvey

118
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.960
Horn because one of the perks will of being a

119
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.799
knight watchman was that the company allowed him to live

120
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.200
on the property in a modest mobile home trailer. And

121
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:11.480
he changed for that they got night security. And that's

122
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.200
pretty common in industrial areas all over the country. You'll

123
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.159
have somebody that maybe lives on the property and helps

124
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.559
with securing the facility. So Wayne Doty and I'm going

125
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.559
to give you his perspective on the relationship. They worked

126
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.000
together at the facility and Harvey was as foreman. Now,

127
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.840
according to Wayne, they would do drugs together often, and

128
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:40.000
Doty said that Harvey sold crystal meth as kind of

129
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.200
a sideline gig as well as Wayne Doty. Now, this

130
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:49.080
sideline gig brought Dody to Horn's house one night in

131
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:53.240
April of nineteen ninety six. And again I want to say,

132
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:56.840
this is Wayne Doty's story. He claimed that he went

133
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.679
over there to do a drug deal. The deal went

134
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:03.480
aroun in a fight broke out. Now, Dudey claimed he

135
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.399
was only carrying a handgun that night in order to

136
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:10.200
trade it for drugs. Because after all this went down,

137
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:12.440
It's the first thing the police asked him, well, if

138
00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:14.200
you didn't go over there to kill the guy, why

139
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.440
did you have a gun. He claimed that the gun

140
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:21.240
was a trade for drugs. During this drug deal, a

141
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.080
fight breaks out. He said, he pulled a pistol and

142
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.360
he shoots Horned to death with it. As a matter

143
00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:32.720
of fact, he pumped five bullets into the skull of

144
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.840
Harvey Horn. So the next morning, April twenty first of

145
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.960
nineteen ninety six, co workers arrive at the Hardy manufacturing

146
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.120
facility and it's not long before they get kind of

147
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:49.799
concerned because Horn would not answer his phone. He's typically

148
00:10:49.879 --> 00:10:53.360
there in the mornings when everybody arrives at that front gate,

149
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.919
and he wasn't there, and people knew something is wrong.

150
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:01.240
This was not his typical behavior. Over to that trailer,

151
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:06.279
and then they discover the body of Harvey Horn and

152
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:10.440
it was in just horrendous shape. Right. They called the

153
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.559
Plant City Police Department and they tell them about this.

154
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:17.399
It's about eight am in the morning. They report it.

155
00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:20.240
The police arrive and the first thing that is this

156
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.519
forced entry. It looked to them like his door was

157
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.879
kicked in, which makes it kind of questionable as to

158
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.879
where they were really doing a drug deal. The whole

159
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:34.559
trailer was also ransacked, Drawers were pulled out, bullet casings

160
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:38.799
scattered everywhere. It was clear that this was a robbery

161
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.399
gone wrong in the police view, so they start an

162
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.399
investigation and it would not take long for them to

163
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.720
get their man, primarily because Wayne Doty could not keep

164
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:55.080
his freaking mouth shut. By the very next day, tips

165
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.679
start pouring into police. The Wayne Dotty was actually bragging

166
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:04.519
am this along his drug circles. He just couldn't keep

167
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:07.559
his mouth shut. Not only was he bragging about his

168
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.320
role in the murder, but he also had an accomplice,

169
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.120
a guy by the name of Brian Lewandowski, who was

170
00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:20.399
seventeen years old at this time, and according to all accounts,

171
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:26.519
he had stood guard outside the trailer during this murder. Now, incidentally,

172
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.159
Dody was twenty three years old when this murder took place.

173
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:35.559
So police arrest both Wayne Doty and Brian Lewandowski and

174
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:39.519
they bring them to the station, and of course, what

175
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.000
do you think Wayne Dotty does. He denies everything to police,

176
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.360
and so police start investigating. They start building a case.

177
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:52.399
Of course, they get blestic matches from the bullet casings

178
00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:57.919
to match it to the actual handgun. Witness statements were taken.

179
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:02.240
Now there weren't any eye wentnesses, but character witnesses, if

180
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:07.519
you will. Fingerprints were recovered, all kinds of things. They

181
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:09.799
bring all this to Wayne Dotty and they say, look,

182
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.200
we know you freaking did this. We've got all this evidence,

183
00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:17.159
and eventually he would confess to police that he had

184
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:21.879
committed the crime. Now, there are trials for these two individuals,

185
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:26.559
and in those trials, Wayne Doty is found guilty of

186
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.679
murder and he does get sentenced to life in prison.

187
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.000
Now is accomplice Brian. That's where kind of the great

188
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.519
area cloudie area of this story exists because I could

189
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.080
not find anything out as to what happened to him

190
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.639
or what his sentence was. I don't know if he

191
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:51.039
cooperated and they gave him complete immunity or if they

192
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.120
gave him just a very light sentence. I don't know.

193
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.000
I can't find any information on what really happened. So

194
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.840
if you do know and you're listening to this, I

195
00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:05.600
would love to know an update of what actually happened

196
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.120
to the accomplice in this case. But in Duddy's case,

197
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:11.840
he went to prison for the rest of his life.

198
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.960
So that should be the end of this story. Right

199
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:19.200
goes to prison, Boom, We're done. Hell no, that's just

200
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:24.679
the beginning of this story. So shortly after his conviction,

201
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.440
Duddy was transferred to the Florida State Prison in Rayford

202
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.159
and y'all. Florida State Prison in Rayford is a max

203
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:38.279
security prison. It's known for housing only the most dangerous

204
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:42.519
of Florida inmates and Dudy would certainly qualify. The prison

205
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:47.080
has the distinction of being not only Florida's most secure prison,

206
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:52.000
but also the oldest prison in the state of Florida. Now,

207
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:57.440
Florida State Prison has a pretty significant history, not unlike

208
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.639
Bloody Angola, and I'm going to reference. It's an article

209
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.720
that came out in the New York Times that gives

210
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:07.320
you an idea of it, because it's important in this story.

211
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.720
Now we're going to go back to nineteen seventy one

212
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:15.080
in that uprising at Florida State Prison, and it reads,

213
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.639
I gave the order to shoot. I did it to

214
00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:22.799
protect the inmates themselves. Thus did Louis Wainwright, director of

215
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:26.799
the Florida Board of Corressions, explaining the February twelfth, nineteen

216
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.759
seventy one incident at the State Prison at Rayford, which

217
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.879
is now referred to by the thirty six hundred convicts

218
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.039
at the state's largest prison as the Lincoln's Day massacre.

219
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:42.320
Sixty three inmates were wounded when prison guards opened fire

220
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:46.120
on the group of nearly seven hundred rebellious prisoners who

221
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:49.480
were staging a sit down strike on the institution's wreck

222
00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.519
field and refused to return to their sales for night

223
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:56.639
lock up. The guards peppered the convicts with birdshot, mister

224
00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:59.679
Wainwright explained in an interview, in order to heard them

225
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.399
from the field to quote the rock the prison's central

226
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:06.679
cell block, machine gun bullets, which he said were fired

227
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.559
for sound effects struck to the prisoner. The scene were

228
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.080
called for some in the state the kind of prison

229
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:17.039
conditions that existed in other eras when force of arms

230
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.879
was accepted technique to deal with unruly prisoners. There were

231
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:23.879
those who had become convinced that Florida him managed to

232
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.919
overcome that image. Mister Wainwright himself said he was surprised

233
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.679
that he had to resort to force. Quote. I'd hope

234
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.960
the day gone when we had to meet resistance with gunfire,

235
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.799
he said. Despite attempts a reform in recent years, some

236
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.919
authorities believe the South's richest and most progressive state today

237
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.000
has the most troubled penal system in the nation, Caught

238
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.720
in an eye spiraling population trend that has placed severe

239
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.840
strain on the state's resources as it struggled to provide

240
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:55.799
for growth in all public sectors. Appropriations for prison development

241
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:59.399
have received low priority. Quote. Anytime we try to make

242
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:03.120
we're progress. We get shot down because the prisons were

243
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:05.359
at the bottom of the list and there was never

244
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:08.119
any money left to budget for them. And he's not

245
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.200
lying there. Nobody wants to pay for prisons, right. Mister

246
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.799
Wainewright conceded the prison over crowding had created other problems,

247
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.839
such as sexual assaults and other forms of violence. Designed

248
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:22.039
to hold twenty four hundred prisoners, it now has thirty

249
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:25.960
six hundred sixty cells built for four inmates each or

250
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.359
now maybe accommodate. Hundreds of men sleep on floors. Another

251
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.680
serious problem is the prison security force, which is largely

252
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:38.680
untrained in modern penal techniques. Prison guards received a starting

253
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.240
salary of four hundred and sixty four dollars a month, unbelievable,

254
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.079
and last year alone there was a forty percent turnover.

255
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.759
So that's just a little look at what Wayne Doty

256
00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:50.200
was dealing with and where he was going to spend

257
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.480
the rest of his life. Now, Initially, Doty was housed

258
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.559
in general population on what is known as the K

259
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.160
Wing inside of the prison, which one of the benefits

260
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:03.599
of being in the K Wing was that Doty's movements

261
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:09.240
were not restricted or as restricted as those on the

262
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:13.240
lockdown wings. Those people in the lockdown wings, they're only

263
00:18:13.279 --> 00:18:16.400
out of their cell one hour a day, twenty three

264
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:18.839
hours a day inside their cell. So I'm going to

265
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:23.319
fast forward a lot to two thousand eleven, and by

266
00:18:23.359 --> 00:18:27.480
this time Wayne Doty had been in prison for fourteen years,

267
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.359
and he was what was known as a runner by

268
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.400
this point in time in prison, which is considered a

269
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.519
privileged status. Think of it as a trustee in other prisons.

270
00:18:37.920 --> 00:18:42.480
His responsibilities would include distributing and picking up meal trays

271
00:18:42.640 --> 00:18:46.920
from the inmates, claiming common areas of the prison, running

272
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.200
errands for prison staff throughout the prison, and by most accounts,

273
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.920
officials inside the prison said he was a very good worker.

274
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:57.920
It was, of course, inside this prison that he would

275
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:02.359
cross pass with an inmate by the name of Xavier Rodriguez.

276
00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.920
Now a little bit about Xavier. He was very young,

277
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:09.680
just twenty one years old when the incident I'm about

278
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.200
to tell you about took place. At this time, Dody

279
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:18.799
was thirty eight. Now, despite Xavier's young age, he had

280
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.680
already been in prison for four years. He had been

281
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.920
handed down a ten year sentence when he was just

282
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:28.319
seventeen years old for robbery He was also housed at

283
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:31.960
the K Wing inside of Florida State Prison. Now, Dody

284
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:35.440
had kind of a business going on in the prison

285
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:39.039
at this time. He would sell tobacco to other inmates,

286
00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:42.119
and the way he would get the tobacco to the

287
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:46.240
other inmates was using runners on the K Wing to

288
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.200
transport it. They would go down the cell block with

289
00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.319
that food tray like you see on the TV right

290
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.400
when you're watching movies, and he would put some of

291
00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:59.960
this tobacco on there and they would deliver it. Xavier

292
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.279
was one of those runners that would deliver this tobacco.

293
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:08.079
So in April of twenty eleven, Dody had Xavier run

294
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.039
this tobacco to another area of the unit, and rather

295
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:17.079
than deliver the product, Xavier kept it and he sells

296
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:21.200
it to someone else. And that's a big deal inside

297
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:24.200
a prison in regardless of whether it's right or wrong.

298
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.119
There has to be a response to that, or you're

299
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.839
going to be seen basically as a punk and everybody's

300
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.960
going to start stealing your shit. Everybody is going to

301
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.920
start taking advantage of you. Dody being a VET in

302
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.440
that prison, right, he is an actual, an actual convict

303
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.880
rather in the prison and there's a difference between inmates

304
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.680
and convicts. Convicts just want to do their time right.

305
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.440
So Dody learns of this and for two weeks he

306
00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:59.240
plans a retaliation against Xavier. And Xavier was young, he

307
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:04.359
probably didn't realize yet how serious this was. So Dody

308
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:07.680
he enlists the help of another inmate, a guy by

309
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:12.039
the name of William Wells. Now Wells probably the second

310
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:15.400
most dangerous inmate in the state of Florida, and he

311
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.640
is actually infamously known as the Monster of Mayport. In

312
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:25.559
two thousand and three, this guy killed six people in

313
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.200
one family. I must did an episode. I must did

314
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.279
this episode on him. I may still do an episode

315
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.759
on this guy. But regardless of that, Wayne Doty and

316
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:41.559
less Wells to be a lookout for this plan. He

317
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.480
then takes some tobacco and he trades that tobacco for

318
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:50.039
a shank sharpened down from a piece of scripe metal.

319
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:53.519
And you know what he's gonna do with that. He

320
00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:56.440
takes that shank and he hides it in the ac

321
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:01.480
duck work of the third floor interview room. And before

322
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:04.880
go any further, let me say this tobacco in prison

323
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:08.359
is like freaking one hundred dollars. It's like the most

324
00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.599
expensive thing you could trade in prison. So he had

325
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.559
a good thing going and he felt like this inmate,

326
00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.920
Xavier was stepping all over it. So he's continuing on

327
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:21.160
with this plan. He starts noting when the guards were

328
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:25.519
coming and going from that particular third floor wing, and

329
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:29.200
he really planned this thing out to the most minute

330
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:34.559
of details. He in Wells would then approach Xavier this

331
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.200
is on May seventeenth of twenty eleven, and they would

332
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:41.119
tell him that they want to play a game of

333
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:46.799
Coastguard handcuffs. Now y'all may wonder what is Coastguard handcuffs.

334
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:50.599
This is a game that convicts play where basically a

335
00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:54.440
bet is placed that you can't get out of bindings

336
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.039
tied behind your back. Usually they'll take like old T

337
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.680
shirts or something, and you've got to get out of him.

338
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.319
Doddy tells Xavier if he can get out of the

339
00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:07.279
bindings that Doddy would give him one hundred dollars in tobacco,

340
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:11.920
and Xavier agrees how he couldn't see this coming after

341
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.039
he stole this man shit, I have no idea, but

342
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.319
he agrees to play this game, and Doddy and Wells

343
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:21.200
tells Xavier. We're going to do this in the third

344
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.039
floor interview room, which is obviously where Doddy had hid

345
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:30.000
that shank. And once inside of that interview room, Wells

346
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:34.359
positions himself against the door, so he's basically blocking that

347
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:37.400
door so no one can go in er out. And

348
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.000
this is a very cramped third floor interview room, right,

349
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:46.680
very small space, dimly lit. There's nothing in there but

350
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:50.119
a table. So with the door skeered by Wells, Doddy

351
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:53.359
moves in behind Rodriguez and he just puts him in

352
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:58.000
what's known as a rare naked choke, choking him from behind.

353
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:01.720
The choke last about a minus minute, and Dody said

354
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:06.559
within seconds that Xavier starts pissing himself, which is obviously

355
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:10.119
a sign you're in a bond. You can't breathe. Eventually

356
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:14.720
Rodriguez would go unconscious and Dody would just drop him

357
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:19.079
into the floor, but he wasn't dead yet, and that's

358
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:23.319
exactly what Dody wanted. At that point, he retrieves a shank,

359
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:27.119
which sharpened piece of metal that he had hidden in

360
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:30.279
that duck work. It was about eight inches long, and

361
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:36.200
he begins stabbing Rodriguez furiously twenty five times to his neck,

362
00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:41.680
his torso, and his chest. Now, even after that, even

363
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.640
after this man was dead, Dody was not done yet.

364
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:49.279
As Xavier's body lay there, he takes the knife and

365
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:54.839
he attempts to carve out Xavier's heart. However, that shank

366
00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:58.839
was dull. He just could not make it happen. Then,

367
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:02.680
just to make sure this guy's dead, Xavier, he takes

368
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.240
a shoelace and he ties it as tighty as he

369
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:13.440
possibly can, almost popping the shoelace tying it around Robriguez's neck.

370
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:18.799
After the assault, Xavier Robriguez laying on the floor twenty

371
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.319
five times. He's been stabbed, his heart. They tried to

372
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.920
cut his heart out. He's there's blood everywhere. And after

373
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:31.880
that assault, dodium Wells sit down on the table inside

374
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.839
of that interview room and guess what they do. They

375
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:40.359
smoke a cigarette. They then calmly leave that room. Doddy

376
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.240
takes a quick shower in the shower room, then goes

377
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.599
to the first floor of K Wing and he tells

378
00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:52.240
the guard that, hey, someone's dead in the third floor

379
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:55.319
interview room. As a matter of fact, he tells the

380
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:58.880
guard quote, we just killed an inmate and there is

381
00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:02.039
a body in the interview room. He even tried to

382
00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:05.720
hide it. So guards rush to the scene. They find

383
00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:09.799
Rodriguez's body, blood everywhere in the room, and of course

384
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.720
they take the two perpetrators and they put them in

385
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:19.440
lockdown immediately in separate cells. They interview them and both

386
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:23.240
admit to everything that I just told you. So of

387
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.440
course there's a trial on this one, and in the trial,

388
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:30.920
Doddy pleads guilty and he gets the death penalty. This

389
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:36.000
is on June fifth of twenty thirteen. Now, in twenty fifteen,

390
00:26:36.599 --> 00:26:39.799
Doddy does something kind of unheard of in the vast

391
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:44.200
majority of cases when you get death penalties. He starts

392
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:49.119
advocating for his own execution. But not only that, he

393
00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:54.440
starts advocating for his own execution via electric chair, and

394
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:57.200
he wants it as soon as possible. At this time,

395
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:01.279
they were giving you the drugs right to kill you.

396
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:05.000
