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.

Anthony Wainwright faces a lethal injection Tuesday for a 1994 murder. In another death warrant appeal, Thomas Gudinas has asked the Florida Supreme Court to have his mental illness reevaluated.

Thomas Lee Gudinas, 51, is set to die by lethal injection June 24 for the murder of Michelle McGrath, whose body was found in an downtown alley. It's the seventh Florida execution schedule this year.

Jeffrey Hutchinson, 62, was pronounced dead at 8:15 p.m. Thursday following a lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke. He was the fourth person executed this year in Florida.
