A convicted cop killer wants to be removed from death row, decades after the 1992 murder he was charged in.
Detective Steven Bauer was ambushed and shot while protecting bank tellers from a robbery in in North Miami in January, 1992.
Now his convicted killer, Leonardo Franqui, wants off death row.
The victim's family, now-adult children and the family of South Florida law enforcement, were present at Tuesday's hearing.
In Franqui's defense, medical experts questioned whether Franqui was intellectually capable to be put to death for the murder that happened almost 26 years ago -- a requirement set just last March under a Supreme Court ruling.
"His actions and his confessions and his words were all calculated," Miami-Dade Police Benevolent Association president John Rivera said.
"It shows that he was of sound mind and he's certainly capable of killing another human being and to put all those things together."
