TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a death warrant for Edward J. Zakrzewski II, a former Eglin Air Force Base airman who strangled his wife and hacked his two young children to death with a machete inside their Mary Esther home in 1994.
His execution is set for July 31, just two weeks after the one that is set for death row inmate Michael Bell on July 15. Most recently, the state put to death Thomas Gudinas on June 24. The latest warrant for Zakrzewski was signed July 1.
His death, assuming it is not stopped by the courts, would be the ninth the governor has ordered in 2025, a modern-era record for the number of executions approved by a Florida governor in one year. In 1984 and 2014, the governors at the time – the late U.S. Sen. Bob Graham and current U.S. Sen. Rick Scott – each signed eight death warrants.

Ping!.............
20 years on death row. Absolutely disgusting to allow him more than 1 calendar year to appeal.
Next!
I love the line that Ron White had years ago. With that Texas drawl of his he smiled and said “if you come to Texas and kill somebody we will kill you back. That’s our policy!”
He was active duty at Hurlburt Field. He was AWOL and they went to his home in Mary Esther, a couple of miles from the base and found the bodies...............
Thirty years under a death sentence, and somehow he lives.
How does that even work? I know one can appeal a conviction, but for thirty years? Something is wrong here.
Death Penalty cases are routinely delayed by the lawyers..............
Most appeals are a game of stalling with legal word games.
Come on, Texas! You just lost your Number One spot.
I have read that the last PUBLIC hanging in Florida was in our county, Okaloosa, back in the 1900 teens.
The newspaper of that time described the scene like a County Fair. People came from all around to witness the hanging on a gallows on the Courthouse lawn in Crestview, the County Seat.
People came with their families and picnic lunches. Vendors were selling cold drinks and sandwiches.
There was a lot less crime back then.
We should start doing this again..................
This YT channel has new executions every week:

There was a case years ago where a soldier at Ft Bragg killed an Air Force wife and her kids. A civilian court found him not guilty so he returned to duty. Years later new DNA technology showed his clear connection to the murders. He was called out of retirement,court martial-ed,convicted and is now sitting on Death Row at Leavenworth.
A lot less crime back then, as a percent of population 🤔
And NO PLEA DEALS!
If you kill a child there should be no mercy. Execution in 30 days, period.........................
Can’t argue with the 0% recidivism rate.
30 years delayed is not justice...
