Starke, Florida AP — A man convicted of the 1994 killings of his wife and their two children became the ninth person put to death in Florida this year, his death Thursday marking a state record for a single-year execution total since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty decades ago.
Edward Zakrzewski, 60, was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. following a three-drug injection at Florida State Prison near Starke. After the return of the U.S. death penalty in 1976, Florida carried out a high of eight executions in 2014, a one-year total only matched this year with a mid-July execution and now exceeded.
“I want to thank the good people of the Sunshine State for killing me in the most cold, calculated, clean, humane, efficient way possible. I have no complaint,” Zakrzewski said after the curtain to the death chamber went up shortly after 6 p.m.
He was lying on a gurney covered with a white sheet. Before the drugs began flowing, he also quoted from a poem as 14 witnesses looked on, plus media reporters and prison staff.
Once the drugs were administered, Zakrzewski began breathing deeply, surrounded by three Corrections Department staffers in dark suits. One of them shook Zakrzewski by the shoulders and shouted his name. There was no reaction, and then he was still.
Florida this year has carried out more executions than any other state, while Texas and South Carolina are tied for second with four each. A 10th execution is scheduled in Florida on Aug. 19 and an 11th on Aug. 28 under death warrants signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Need to do it like they used to. No dragging it out. Bobby Greenlease case from the 50’s. “Under questioning, Hall confessed to the kidnapping and implicated Heady – both eventually admitting their guilt in the killing of Bobby Greenlease. Kansas City courts tried and sentenced them to death. On December 19, 1953, fewer than three months after their crime and capture, they were executed together in a gas chamber at the Missouri State Penitentiary.” Imagine that, less than 3 months after their crime?
There’s lots of fentanyl around..................
The Lincoln conspirators were hanged less than three months after the assassination...............
It could be put to good use ...
Another good example. This dragging it out for decades needs to stop.
Should have given him a choice. Just getting offed or the challenge of getting out of GatorAlcatraz to Miami. If he makes it, he is free ‘cause Gawd is obviously on his side. Video from overhead drones would have broken the WWW.
It’s Asspress, a nest of lunatics.
Unsolved Mysteries helped catch this guy. I remember that show. I used to watch it every week.
Next!
Keep it up! Get rid of them all.
We also have a local serial killer. He started killing people at about 17 and took as many as six lives and possibly more................
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_A._Walls
Victim Audrey Gygi was the aunt of a friend of mine, now deceased.
A co-worker of mine had a run-in with him at the apartments where they both lived at the time and he had a rattlesnake put in his mailbox.
My wife believes she was to be one of his victims when a strange man tried to get into her vehicle with her at the beach but she had the doors locked as he was beating on the door and windows. She was able to get away driving as fast
as she could.
I and many people here in Okaloosa and Walton Counties will celebrate when this piece of human shit finally leaves this world.
Even though I no longer drink, I will drink a toast to his demise for my friend that has passed away that so wanted to see this worthless POS die. He would have driven to Raiford Prison to witness it...........
Are the animals fed at Alligator Alcatraz?
Each other.............................
|I agree.
Wow that is pure evil.
I’m guessing he should be coming around the bend before not to long to get on that gurney.
Guiseppe Zangara attempted to shoot FDR at Bay front park in Miami, missed and hit mayor Cernack of Chicago.
He was executed 19 days later.
