The U.S. Supreme Court denied stays for two Florida death row inmates, allowing the state to execute them. James Duckett, 68, was executed by lethal injection for raping and murdering an 11-year-old girl in 1987. Dominick Occhicone, 80, was also executed for murdering his ex-girlfriend’s parents in 1986.
Executions Mark Rare Occurrence
This marks the first time Florida has executed two inmates in one day since 1964. The state has executed 11 people this year, more than double the next closest state.
