Florida marks a record two-execution day as DeSantis pushes death-penalty pace
TL;DR Summary
Florida carried out its 11th execution of the year and set to execute a second inmate on the same day—the first time two inmates were put to death in one day—amid Gov. DeSantis’s aggressive push on capital punishment. The day featured James Duckett, who helped kill 11-year-old Teresa McAbee in 1987, and Dominick Occhicone, scheduled to die for a 1986 Pasco County family massacre; DNA testing was inconclusive and protests formed outside the prison as the state advances its record pace.
