Florida carries out back-to-back executions, including an 80-year-old inmate
Florida carried out two executions in one day—the first back-to-back state executions in nearly a decade—highlighting Gov. Ron DeSantis’s push to accelerate capital punishment. 80-year-old Dominick Anthony Occhicone was executed, making him the oldest Floridian put to death in modern times, hours after former police officer James Aren Duckett was executed for the 1987 rape and murder of 11-year-old Teresa McAbee.
