Date Set For Child Killer's Execution

POSTED: Monday, May 19, 2008
UPDATED: 4:50 pm EDT May 19, 2008

Florida plans to execute child killer Mark Dean Schwab on July 1.

Gov. Charlie Crist set the date Monday after the U.S. Supreme Court lifted a stay of execution for Schwab. He had originally been scheduled to die last November but was given a reprieve while justices considered the constitutionality of lethal injection procedures.

The court upheld the use of lethal injection in a Kentucky case a month ago.

Crist declined to comment extensively on the new death warrant.

Schwab faces death for the rape and murder of 11-year-old Junny Rios-Martinez in 1991.
