Summary
Duckett, convicted of the kidnapping, rape and murder in 1987 of Teresa McAbee, 11, and Occhicone, convicted of killing her ex-girlfriend's parents in 1986, exhausted legal remedies in the state, as the Florida Supreme Court rejected appeals in both cases. Former police officer James Duckett, aged 68, received the maximum penalty at 1.19 local time in Florida State Prison, in Raiford, north of the state, and Dominick Occhicone, from 80, at 6.13 local time in the same place. The last time the state carried out two executions in the same day was in 1964, according to the Death Penalty Information Center (DPIC).
Furthermore, Occhicone became the oldest reed executed in Florida and the second in the United States, just behind Walter Moody, aged 83 in the state of Alabama in 2018. 66, which means that this state is close to half the national total, according to the PIC. In addition, his lawyers recalled that the jury who convicted him was not unanimous (seven votes against five).
In addition, The organization Floridanos por Alternativas a la Pena de Muerte (FADP) accused the courts of protecting the state against any serious investigation into its execution and reported that Florida kills more criminals this year than all the other states together. The lawyers of both of them went to a federal court in northern Florida on Friday 24 with a joint lawsuit, claiming that two executions on the same day multiply the risk of judgements and that subjecting prison officials to this trial in six hours causes unacceptable moral damage.
