Duckett Executed as Florida Plans Second Back-to-Back Execution
TL;DR Summary
Former Lake County police officer James Aren Duckett was put to death by lethal injection in Florida, the first of two planned executions on the same day, with 80-year-old Dominick Occhicone slated for the second. Duckett, who raped and drowned 11-year-old Teresa McAbee in 1987, saw DNA testing on old evidence yield inconclusive results. The move comes amid Gov. DeSantis’s accelerated death-penalty pace, marking Florida’s first back-to-back executions since 2017.
