Florida Carries Out Rare Double Execution of James Duckett and Dominick Occhicone [mnxojBczq1L]
🚨 JUSTICE SYSTEM UPDATE: For the first time in over 60 years, the state of Florida executed two death row inmates by lethal injection on the same day at the Florida State Prison near Starke. The double execution, scheduled five hours apart on Tuesday, represents the first time the state has put two individuals to death on a single day since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976. The first inmate, 68-year-old former police officer James Aren Duckett, was pronounced dead at 1:19 p.m. for the 1987 kidnapping, rape, and murder of 11-year-old Teresa Mae McAbee. The second inmate, 80-year-old Dominick Anthony Occhicone, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. for the 1986 double murder of his ex-girlfriend's parents, making him the oldest prisoner executed in Florida's modern history.
