Fifth Murder Trial For Colandro Peters In Fort Pierce
Colandro Peters stands trial for the fifth time in Fort Pierce facing life for the first degree murder of Terry Strickland. A 9mm pistol, shell casing, and Peters’s thumb print on the clip tie him to the shooting during a $10 cocaine deal with Troy Cole. Prosecutors rely on Cole’s testimony though credibility is disputed amid prior admissions of drug use and prior jail references affecting juror perceptions. The case has repeatedly ended in mistrials or deadlocked juries, delaying justice for Strickland’s death.
