德桑蒂斯签署第20份死刑执行令,创佛州纪录

佛罗里达州州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯10月5日签署了今年第20份死刑执行令,对象为死刑犯杰西·瓜尔达多,执行日期定在11月5日。据福克斯13台报道,20份执行令创下了佛罗里达州单年签署死刑执行令数量的纪录。瓜尔达多因多年前犯下的谋杀罪被判处死刑,其上诉程序已全部终结。德桑蒂斯近年来加快了死刑执行节奏,支持者认为这是对受害者家属的交代,反对者则批评死刑制度存在误判风险。按照安排,佛州今年剩余时间还可能有新的执行令签署。
DeSantis Signs 20th Death Warrant, Setting Florida Record
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed the 20th death warrant of the year on October 5, for condemned inmate Jesse Guardado, with execution set for November 5. According to Fox 13, the 20 warrants set a single-year record for Florida. Guardado was sentenced to death years ago for murder, and his appeals have been exhausted. DeSantis has accelerated the pace of executions in recent years; supporters call it justice for victims' families, while opponents cite the risk of wrongful convictions. More warrants could still be signed in the remainder of the year.
