Florida has four death row killers over 80. Victims’ families say it’s no reason for mercy
- Florida is preparing to execute two of its oldest death row inmates this month, following the recent execution of a 74-year-old man, the state’s oldest in modern history.
- This series of impending executions underscores a national trend: an increasingly aging death-row population, prompting renewed debate over the ethics of capital punishment.
- One man, convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend's parents in 1986, is 80 years old and, if executed in July, would become only the second known octogenarian to be put to death in the U.
