Attorneys for the state of Florida say the execution of a man with Parkinson’s symptoms should not be delayed.

A Marion County circuit judge has refused to vacate a death sentence for a convicted murderer scheduled to be executed this month, rejecting arguments that a new law compensating victims of abuse at the notorious Arthur G. Dozier School for Boys should give the case a fresh review.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed a death warrant for an inmate convicted in the 1994 murder of a Florida State University student who went to the Ocala National Forest to camp with his sister.
