Two Executions in One Day: Florida to Carry Out Death Penalty on a Rapist and a Murderer
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Florida is set to become the first state in the country in nearly a decade to execute two inmates on the same day, with lethal injections scheduled six hours apart. The executions are part of a push to accelerate the use of the death penalty led by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis over the past year and a half. So far, the governor has not explained why both executions were scheduled for the same day. James Aren Duckett, 68, is scheduled to be executed at noon at Florida State Prison near Starke. Hours later, Dominick Anthony Occhicone, 80, is set to be executed, making him the oldest inmate to be executed in the modern history of the state.
