Detectives press him for answers, uncovering chilling details about his mindset and motives. Watch as investigators break down his disturbing confessions and piece together the evidence in this shocking true crime case. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

Edward Covington, who killed his girlfriend and her two children, sentenced to death
TAMPA — Seven years after a triple homicide that Hillsborough County's sheriff called the grisliest he had ever seen, a judge on Friday sentenced Edward Covington to death for the murder of his girlfriend and her two children.

In a rejection of defense attorneys' arguments that Covington is mentally ill and should be spared the death penalty, the judge found that death was the appropriate punishment for one of the goriest homicide cases in Hillsborough's history. Covington, 42, absorbed the sentence impassively, surrounded by stone-faced lawyers.

Outside the courtroom, Barbara Freiberg, the victims' mother and grandmother, said she approved of the judge's ruling, though she acknowledged it would likely entail years, if not decades, of appeals.

"There's a relief knowing that he's going to get what he gave my children," she said.
On May 12, 2008, Freiberg opened the door to her daughter Lisa's mobile home in Lutz and encountered a blood-soaked crime scene. Lisa Freiberg, 26, and her two children, Zachary Freiberg, 7, and Heather Savannah Freiberg, 2, had been beaten, choked and stabbed. Authorities said Covington had attacked the family with a hammer and knife. After killing the children, he dismembered their bodies.

Sheriff's deputies found Covington, a former prison guard, cowering in a closet, wearing nothing but underwear and covered in scratches and traces of blood.

Charged with three counts of first-degree murder, three counts of abuse of a dead body and one count of animal abuse for killing the family's dog, Covington sat in prison for years, waiting for his day in court. But when his trial began last fall, he stunned everyone, including the public defenders representing him, by abruptly firing them and announcing that he would plead guilty.

"I expect you to sentence me to death," he told Hillsborough Circuit Judge William Fuente, adding that this was the sentence he would choose for himself. "I feel it's warranted. The Freibergs feel it's warranted. The state feels it's warranted. I have no problem with this."

Covington's decision to forgo a jury trial left his fate entirely with the judge and prompted Fuente to issue a stern warning. He had encountered a similar situation only once before in his career, he told Covington, and he sentenced that defendant to death.

On Friday, after more than six months of reviewing court transcripts and medical records, Fuente said the horrifying manner in which the three victims were killed outweighed the defense argument that Covington was driven by mental illness.

From the outset of the case, Covington's lawyers portrayed him as a deeply disturbed man who, at the time of the murders, was not taking prescribed medications to control his bipolar disorder.
Medical records showed that by age 15, he was taking the mood stabilizer lithium. His mother testified that throughout his teenage years and into adulthood, he swung wildly between periods of high energy and deep depression, was repeatedly hospitalized and tried to commit suicide multiple times. By the time his case went to trial, he was taking four different medications — Depakote, Seroquel, Zoloft and Klonopin.

The Murder Of Stacey Stites [True Crime Documentary]

The Murder Of Stacey Stites [True Crime Documentary]

The Murder Of Stacey Stites [True Crime Documentary]Rodney Reed has been on death row awaiting execution after a jury convicted him guilty of the 1996 murder of Stacey Stites in Texas. Reed, on the other hand, asserts his innocence, and a slew of celebrities, as well as attorneys from The Innocence Project, have taken up the "Free Rodney Reed" mantle.Reed was set to be executed by lethal injection on November 20, 2019, but a stay of execution was given just before he was slated to die. Following a public outcry of innocence from celebrities like as Kim Kardashian West, who alleged she was with him when the execution stay was issued, his case has gotten national media attention. Reed is awaiting a new hearing, which is scheduled for 2021.Here are some critical details concerning this case that you should be aware of:1The murder weapon was never been tested for DNA evidence. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has frequently dismissed requests for DNA testing of crime scene evidence, including a belt that was used as a murder weapon. In 2018, the United States Supreme Court declined to hear a direct appeal of the Texas courts' refusal to allow DNA testing.2. Rodney's conviction and death sentence were brought about by flaws in the State's forensic experts' evidence. State witnesses from Rodney's original trial have since filed affidavits claiming that testimony presented about Stacey's death was false, rendering the prosecution's timing of Rodney's claimed murder improbable.3. Rodney Reed and Stacey Stites were having a sexual relationship that was consenting. No one came forward to substantiate their relationship at the time of the trial. New witnesses, including Stacey's cousin and coworker, have now backed up Rodney's assertion that they were aware of his and Stacey's intimate relationship.4. Rodney's culpability is physiologically and scientifically impossible, according to renowned forensic pathologists. Semen obtained from Stacey's body, which was attributed to their consenting connection, was the prosecution's only forensic evidence linking Rodney to the killing. This was utilized by the prosecution to link him to the murder and disprove their consensual romantic relationship. However, the testimony that supported this notion has subsequently been recanted, casting doubt on the State's case.5. Jimmy Fennell, Stacey's fiancé, was the leading suspect in the case for months following the murder. According to a video made by one of the police detectives, Jimmy was suspected of murdering Stacey and was motivated by her relationship with another guy.6. Bastrop Sheriff's Officer Curtis Davis, Jimmy's best buddy at the time of the murder, has now revealed that Jimmy offered a contradictory story of where he was on the night of the murder. On the night Stacey was murdered, Jimmy had told his friend that he was out drinking. However, based on Dr. Michael Baden's amended evidence, he later indicated that he was with Stacey in the apartment they shared during what we now know was the real time of her death, contradicting his previous assertion. Jimmy declined to testify when asked to explain the discrepancy because his replies could further condemn him.7. Two new witnesses have come forward and filed affidavits, adding to the growing body of evidence against Jimmy Fennell. An insurance salesperson said that Jimmy threatened to kill Stacey when she was applying for life insurance in these documents. The second witness was a Lee County Sheriff's Office Deputy at the time of the murder, to whom Jimmy made an incriminating statement about Stacey's body at her funeral.8. Jimmy was sentenced to ten years in jail after committing a sex crime and kidnapping while on duty. Jimmy has a history of aggression toward women, according to law enforcement documents.9. This was a racially sensitive situation. An all-white jury found Rodney, a Black man, guilty of murdering Stacey, a white lady. 10. Jimmy Fennell has made a confession that has come to light. In a meeting with Arthur Snow, a former member of the Aryan Brotherhood and Jimmy's prison buddy, Jimmy confessed to the murder of Stacey, saying, "I had to kill my n*****-loving fiancée."the murder of stacey stites,rodney reed case,rodney reed,rodney reed executed in texas,rodney reed documentary,stacey stites case,stacey stites,jimmy fennell,jimmy fennell confession,jimmy fennell rodney reedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/best-of-reddit-stories-2025-cheating-true-crime-aita-and-nsfw-stories--6476242/support.
