Florida ejecutará a su condenado número 18 del año por el asesinato de un policía en 1986
Florida is scheduled to carry out its 18th execution of the year on Tuesday. The condemned man is a military veteran convicted of killing a police officer in 1986. The United States Supreme Court rejected a request to stay the execution. The request had asked the court to consider the trauma the man suffered in combat before allowing the sentence to proceed. The legal effort centered on the veteran’s combat trauma and his years of military service. The report did not identify the condemned veteran or the officer who was killed.
