## Resource

Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a death warrant for William Frances Silvia, setting his execution for August 18 via lethal injection at Florida State Prison — marking his 13th death warrant of the year. Convicted in 2008 for murdering his estranged wife Patricia Silvia in 2006, Silvia also fatally wounded her mother, Betty Woodard, during the attack. Two other inmates, James Aren Duckett and Dominick Anthony Occhicone, are scheduled for execution on June 28, with Occhicone potentially becoming one of Florida’s oldest executed inmates in recent history. No details yet on whether Silvia’s legal team will file last-minute appeals, or if legal challenges will affect the upcoming executions.
