佛罗里达州处决杀害同监室囚犯的死囚罗伯逊 州长此前首次撤回另一名死囚的执行令
据福克斯新闻等媒体10月13日至14日报道，佛罗里达州10月13日在州立监狱处决了死囚詹姆斯·罗伯逊。罗伯逊在狱中杀害同监室囚犯哈特；受害者之女丽贝卡·哈特在监狱外对媒体发表了讲话。据报道，哈特遇害时距其获释仅剩八天。
罗伯逊1980年17岁时因入室盗窃与袭击被判入狱，其后又因越狱、殴打与武器等罪行加刑。报道称，他杀害同监室囚犯是为求被判处死刑。
佛罗里达州原定同日执行两起死刑，但州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯上周撤回了对74岁死囚威廉·李·汤普森的执行令，为其任内首次撤回死刑执行令。汤普森1976年因绑架并杀害23岁的萨莉·艾维斯特被判死刑；德桑蒂斯未说明撤回原因，此前他曾因汤普森的精神状况评估而暂缓执行，其律师称汤普森患有痴呆且健康恶化，希望将其转至医疗机构。
Florida Executes Inmate Who Killed Cellmate; Governor Had Withdrawn Another Death Warrant for First Time
Fox News and other outlets reported on October 13-14 that Florida executed death row inmate James Robertson at Florida State Prison on October 13. Robertson killed his cellmate, Hart, in prison; the victim's daughter, Rebecca Hart, spoke to reporters outside the prison. Hart was killed eight days before he was set to be released, according to the reports.
Robertson was sent to prison in 1980 at age 17 for burglary and assault, and additional convictions for escape, battery and weapons offenses extended his sentence. He killed his cellmate in an effort to receive the death penalty, the reports said.
Florida had initially scheduled two executions that day, but Governor Ron DeSantis last week withdrew the death warrant for William Lee Thompson, 74, the first time he has withdrawn a death warrant. Thompson was sentenced to death for the 1976 kidnapping and killing of 23-year-old Sally Ivester. DeSantis did not provide a reason for the withdrawal; he had previously stayed the execution pending a psychiatric evaluation, and Thompson's attorneys say he has dementia and failing health and want him transferred to a medical facility.
