The 87-year-old's death was announced by his wife, retired Tallahassee Democrat reporter Kathleen Laufenberg. Spriggs confronted injustice, even when it meant going head-to-head with hate groups, fielding threats or being handcuffed and jailed. Those who knew him say his intense disposition was rooted in a "take no prisoners" pursuit of the law. Some of his notable cases included David Roby Keaton, part of the "Quincy Five," a name given to five Black men from the rural city 20 miles west of Tallahassee who were were arrested for the murder of an off-duty Leon County sheriff's deputy during a robbery of a Tallahassee convenience store in 1970.
