Quentin Truehill (pictured on left), had previously been found guilty of first-degree murder and kidnapping and sentenced to death.
A third co-defendant, Peter Hughes (pictured on right), pleaded guilty in June and was sentenced to life in prison.
Prosecutors said Truehill, Hughes and Johnson were jail escapees from Louisiana who went on a crime spree.
The three men abducted Binder (pictured on left) and robbed him as he walked home from a party in Tallahassee. They later stabbed him to death and dumped his body along State Road 16 in St. Augustine.
Binder was reported missing on April 8, 2010, by his friends, prompting an investigation into his disappearance. The Tallahassee Police Department said evidence on Binder's phone and financial information led investigators the three fugitives.
Truehill, Hughes and Johnson were apprehended by U.S. Marshals in April 2010.
