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

Edward Zakrzewski, 60, was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. Thursday following a three-drug injection. Florida has executed more people than any other state this year and has two more executions set for August.

Edward Zakrzewski is scheduled for lethal injection at 6 p.m. Thursday for using a crowbar, rope and machete to murder his wife and two children in 1994 in their Okaloosa County home.

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.

Edward J. Zakrzewski II pleaded guilty to strangling his wife to death and using a machete to kill his two children in Okaloosa County. He is slated for execution July 31.

Thomas Lee Gudinas marks the seventh person put to death in Florida this year. A total of 23 men have been executed in the U.S. this year, with scheduled executions set to make 2025 the year with the most executions since 2015.

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.

Rogers, 62, received a lethal injection at Florida State Prison. He was convicted in the fatal stabbing of Tina Marie Cribbs, a 34-year-old mother of two. Rogers is the fifth inmate put to death in Florida this year.

Anthony Wainwright, convicted of killing Carmen Gayheart, is scheduled for lethal injection on June 10. Meantime, attorneys for Glen Rogers have gone to the U.S. Supreme Court to prevent his Thursday execution.
