Florida is set to become the first state in nearly a decade to carry out a double execution in one day with the lethal injections of a child murderer and an octogenarian.
Former police officer James Duckett, 68, died by a lethal injection at 1.19 p.m. Tuesday at Florida state prison near Starke for raping and drowning an 11-year-old girl in 1987.
Duckett said “No sir” when asked if he wanted to make a final statement and about four minutes after the three-drug injection began, the prison warden shook Duckett and shouted his name, receiving no response.

Raped and drowned an 11-year old girl. EXECUTED 39 years too late however.
Young cop (29) did the dirty business. Should have been executed earlier.
I couldn’t agree more.
Do they have to sterilize the execution chamber after the first one? If so, why?
The crime occurred 39 years ago! How is this even "justice?"
As the Civil-Rights Left always likes to say "justice delayed is justice denied."
Why wait so many decades?
Enjoy hell, scumbag!
Uh, he raped and murdered the little girl in 1987. I think its been enough time.
Convicted, appealed, and,appealed, and,appealed, and,appealed, and,appealed, and,appealed, and,appealed, and,appealed, and, lawyers made a bunch of money.
They don’t want the next person to come down with some sort of sickies.
The Florida authorities should change the term from “execution’ to “retroactive abortion” to get the “liberals” on board.
Florida State Prison~~~~~We’ll turn a light out for ya!

“Justice delayed is justice denied.” William Gladstone, 19th-century British statesman. Fact is the taxpayers got screwed having to pay for the murderer’s room, board, meals, health care, and legal counsel FOR ALMOST 40 YEARS!

That’s why, as most everyone knows, the criminal justice system is a farce. It’s why we are now living in an uncivilized country, because in any truly civilized country, defendants convicted of murder, regardless of motive, would be executed within a fortnight of their conviction. NO EXCEPTIONS!
Appeal once, turned down, then bye bye - back in the day, the early 1900’s a convicted murderer was executed in about six months.
Back in the early 1950’s both Roserbergs were executed the same day.
Yeah, read about that in history class.
They went straight from the courtroom to Sing Sing where they were executed at around 8 that night.
