Supreme Court lets rare double execution move forward in Florida
The Supreme Court allowed Florida to proceed with a rare double execution of James Aren Duckett and Dominick Anthony Occhicone Jr., denying their claims that the state's plan for two executions in one day risks botched procedures under the Eighth Amendment. Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis scheduled the executions, which mark the state's 11th and 12th death sentences this year.
