While nationwide executions are declining, Florida alone has accounted for nearly half of all state executions this year, setting a record pace under DeSantis. The elderly inmate, Dominick Occhicone, apologized to victims’ families, while the officer’s victims’ kin described decades of agony finally ending — though the pain remains. With another execution looming in August, Florida’s lethal injection machine shows no signs of slowing, cementing DeSantis’s legacy as the nation’s most aggressive death penalty governor.
