Good morning. It's Wednesday, July 19. In our top story, a Osceola County jury recommended the death penalty for a St. Cloud man who killed his nearly 3-month-old son four years ago.

Elsewhere, Sprint has sued All Aboard Florida for nearly $650,000 for work along the Brightline route, for which the telecommunications company claims it has not been reimbursed.

And finally, Atlanta United FC is coming to town to face Orlando City on Friday. The team from Georgia had a message for the Lions here.
