Herard is already serving multiple life sentences for participating in the robbery of a Dunkin' Donuts in Delray Beach in 2008. The store was one of several targeted by Herard and four co-defendants in a string of violent robberies that year. Along with Jean-Pierre's murder, Herard was convicted of murdering Kiem Huynh during a Thanksgiving Day robbery in Tamarac. The jury recommended a life sentence.
