Correctional authorities in Florida executed two death row inmates in a single day on Tuesday, carrying out lethal injections at the Florida State Prison in Raiford.
The individuals executed included an octogenarian inmate convicted of capital offences decades prior, following the denial of final legal appeals by federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court.
The rare double execution marks one of the few instances in recent state history where multiple capital sentences were carried out within a 24-hour window.
