Florida fired up "Old Sparky" the electric chair this morning and executed admitted serial killer, Gerald Stano.Stano was put to death for the killing of one of the 41 people he said he murdered.Stano was the first of four executions over a nine day period that Florida has scheduled.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW COMMISSION WILL BE MEETING THIS WEEK TO CONSIDER SEVERAL PROPOSALS, INCLUDING ONE THAT WOULD REQUIRE UNANIMOUS JURY RECOMMENDATIONS IN SENTENCING FOR DEATH PENALTY CASES.
CONVICTED MURDERER LEO JONES' DEATH SENTENCE IS CHALLENGED BASED ON WHETHER THE ELECTRIC CHAIR IS CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT AFTER AN INMATE'S HEAD CATCHES FIRE DURING THE LAST EXECUTION.
