Florida carried out its first double execution in more than six decades on Tuesday as Governor Ron DeSantis continues to oversee the nation’s most active state for the death penalty. 68-year-old James Duckett, a former police officer convicted of raping and murdering an 11-year-old child in 1987, was executed by lethal injection on July 28. Approximately five hours later, 80-year-old Dominick Occhione, who was convicted of murdering his ex-fiancée’s parents in 1986, was also executed. Occhione became the second-oldest inmate ever executed in the United States.
