Rare Double Execution: Florida Executes First Of Two Inmates In One Day, Making History Tonight

It’s is a historic day on Florida’s death row with a rare double execution. The state is executing two inmates in one day for the first time in more than 60 years. After a brief delay, Florida executed 68-year-old James Duckett at 1:19pm ET and just a few hours later is set to execute the oldest man in state history, 80-year-old Dominick Occhicone. The Supreme Court just denied both mens’ appeals for a stay of execution clearing the way for both lethal injections.
