Florida executes man convicted of 2 killings decades ago

Associated Press  

STARKE, Fla. — Florida has executed an inmate who was convicted of killing two people after a night of drinking decades ago. Before then, the state had stopped all executions for months after a Supreme Court ruling that found Florida’s method of sentencing people to death was unconstitutional. The Florida Supreme Court has ruled that Lambrix’s case is too old to qualify for relief from the new sentencing system. He was originally scheduled to be executed in 2016, but that was postponed after the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in a case called Hurst v. Florida, which found Florida’s system for sentencing people to death was unconstitutional because it gave too much power to judges, instead of juries. Florida’s Supreme Court has ruled that the new death sentencing system only applies to cases back to 2002. Corrections spokeswoman Michelle Glady said Bryant’s sister was the only victims’ family member to attend the execution and she did not wish to speak with reporters afterward.
