## Resource

Florida is set to execute two men on the same day for the first time in over 60 years — a chilling milestone that underscores the state’s relentless push toward capital punishment. James Duckett, 68, a former police officer convicted of raping and drowning an 11-year-old girl in 1987, faces the electric chair at noon on July 28. His execution was delayed after inconclusive DNA testing, sparking outrage from his legal team who insist he’s innocent. Later that day, at 6 PM, Dominick Occhicone, 80, will be executed — making him the oldest person ever put to death in Florida if the sentence stands. Already battling age-related health issues, Occhicone’s case adds another layer of controversy to a state that’s executed more people in a single year than any other since reinstating the death penalty. Governor Ron DeSantis, who’s overseen this record-breaking pace, says he’s determined to deliver justice to victims’ families — even as critics question the morality and fairness of these high-profile, high-stakes executions.
