execution

Victor Tony Jones, 64, is scheduled to die Sept. 30. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the death warrant the day after the state carried out the year's 11th execution, with the 12th slated for Sept. 17.

Windom received a lethal injection for the 1992 Winter Park murders of girlfriend Valerie Davis, the woman’s mother and the man he said owed him $2,000.

Curtis Windom is scheduled to die by lethal injection Thursday evening at Florida State Prison after his final appeals were rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Justices upheld a lower court’s ruling and ruled Bates was “procedurally barred from collaterally raising” a series of arguments that have been previously rejected.

Kayle Bates' attorneys told justices that state prosecutors denied the jury truthful information necessary to a realistic understanding of his potential sentences.

Curtis Windom, 59, is set to die by lethal injection Aug. 28. Eight other executions have taken place in Florida this year, with a ninth scheduled for Thursday and a 10th for Aug. 19.

Michael Bell was pronounced dead at 6:25 p.m. Tuesday at Florida State Prison. Another inmate, Edward Zakrzewski, is scheduled to be the ninth put to death this month.

Michael Bell would be the eighth person put to death in Florida this year, with Edward Zakrzewski scheduled to be the ninth later this month. The state executed six people in 2023 but only one last year.

Michael Bell's attorney raised a series of issues with the Florida Supreme Court, including that witnesses recently recanted testimony that helped convict his client 30 years ago.

Attorneys for Thomas Gudinas, who is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Tuesday, want the state to turn over records related to the governor's "process for determining who lives and who dies."

Thomas Gudinas was convicted in the 1994 murder of Michelle McGrath in Orlando. His representatives argue “evolving standards of decency have rendered the execution of ... constitutionally impermissible.”

The U.S. Supreme Court denied Anthony Wainwright's appeal, allowing the state to carry out his scheduled execution on Tuesday.
