Arrest Made In Year Old Escambia Murder Case
April 20, 2018
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in a year-old murder case.
Antjuan Javien Sanders, 18, is charged with homicide, burglary and sexual battery in connection with the February 13, 2017, death of of 58-year old Susan Midyett of Statler Avenue.
Deputies first believed her death to be accidental, but further investigation determined that Midyett was murdered and her house burglarized. Investigators said DNA evidence collected at the scene revealed Midyett had been sexually assaulted and led to the arrest of Sanders.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Sanders has been connected to at least one additional residential burglary and could be responsible for others. The ECSO said more charges may be filed.

After working over 10 years in the Florida Department of corrections AS a correction Officer, Mr. Nobody is more right than he is wrong. You say educate yourself? You must be in corrections or married to someone who is and just want to defend it. The Florida DOC was once great but Not t anymore. It’s a holiday cakewalk for inmates. When the Director is more concerned with a Uniform update instead of correcting the low pay and turnover of CO’s, it will never be fixed.
REGARDING:
” repeat offenders, murderers, and rapist not getting the death sentence”
The Supreme Court has ruled that the death penalty for anything other than murder constitutes unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment and can not be permitted.
(This also means that the death penalty for drug dealers is unconstitutional, but nobody has been sentenced under it, so it has not come up on appeal — you can’t appeal a sentence you have not been given.)
This child is covered under Roper v. Simmons, 543 U.S. 551 (2005), in which the Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to impose capital punishment for crimes committed while under the age of 18.
(They struck down a bunch of death penalty laws and then ruled that the few being sentenced to death meant our evolving standards meant nothing was worthy of the death penalty. (It saved Charles Manson.) Then some 35 states rewrote their laws to reaffirm support of the death penalty, They overturned their own ruling. They called the death penalty too capricious, so the states wrote their laws to ALWAYS give the death penalty for certain crimes. Then the Supreme Court ruled that wasn’t capricious enough, that sometimes you needed to recognize the victim had it coming. And around and around we go.)
David for honest judges
and fewer killers, rapists, offenders
@mr.nobody….you obviously have no clue about the prison system and how it works. Get some education more accurate than what You see on t.v. If you pursued research and knowledge as diligently as you casually comment about things of which you have no clue you might actually know something.
A lot of folks on here bellyache’in about what should be done, but what type of political action are we taking? If we raised more hell about light sentences, repeat offenders, murderers, and rapist not getting the death sentence more would get done.
This animal will not be subjected to the “ultimate” punishment due to him being a child. He is also the reason my wife and I carry concealed weapons, legally, to hopefully, and if need be, remove him and his ilk from being a cancer on what was once a great nation. I belong to the NRA, and do not appreciate a group of kids looking for a cause attempting to destroy my rights. Too many of my friends have given their lives for me, and, paradoxically, the suspect’s rights, and the protester’s rights, to be protected, guaranteed by the constitution….somewhere missing in this mix is the victim’s rights.
Well let’s see, he breaks into a home, rapes someone’s grandmother and kills her. He will go to prison where he will be fed well, have free medical, enjoy hanging out with his friends and talking about how tough he is, get drugs and cell phones, and if anyone denies him his RIGHTS while he’s in prison they will be disciplined. How exactly is that justice?
..his life is over …hope he enjoyed it…too bad he did not stop and think about the results of a violent lifestyle…
Amen to the Guiloteen.
Amen to the gallows!
Hopefully he will be charged as an adult..
