Summary
Florida’s top court has denied James Duckett’s final bid to halt his execution, clearing the way for his scheduled death penalty on Tuesday — alongside another inmate — despite his desperate appeal for new DNA testing that could have reopened his 1987 rape and murder case. Once a police officer, Duckett was convicted for killing 11-year-old Teresa McAbee, and while initial DNA tests were inconclusive, his legal team pushed for deeper analysis by a bioinformaticist. The state court called the latest move a “frivolous” delay tactic, leaving Duckett’s fate in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court — which may be his last chance to stop the execution.
