I Asked Former Florida Death Row Residents Their Thoughts on Executions @prisonjourn prisonjournalismproject.org/2026/05/19/i-a…

NEW: After Tennessee botched the execution of Tony Carruthers this morning — leading Gov. Bill Lee to issue him a one year reprieve of execution — the U.S. Supreme Court, with no noted dissents, gave Florida the go-ahead to try and kill Richard Knight later today.

Florida is in the middle of an execution spree—one that history will judge harshly. But that will come later. #RichardKnight faces execution THIS Thursday. Not only has his past as a survivor of horrific abuse been utterly ignored, but as has the fact that there is a latent fingerprint on the murder weapon that matches neither Richard, nor the victim. You know what to do... 📞 850-717-9337 🖋️ actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop…

New material in Andrew Lukehart v. State of Florida. Duval County death case (response to motion for stay of execution). June 2 execution date set. See the docket ow.ly/KFOz50Z1lCa

Amnesty International has been campaigning against the death penalty for nearly 50 years. Over the years, our global movement has tirelessly campaigned against the death penalty and the world has witnessed a global progressive trend towards abolition. However, a small, isolated group of states were still willing to carry out executions in 2025 in defiance of international law. Read the full report here: amnestyusa.org/reports/amnest…

“All we need is a little water, blessed by love and hope, to help us break through once more. Then, we will take our rightful place in the sun, moon, and rain.

Florida already leads the nation in wrongful death row convictions, with 30 death row exonerations. We should be doing everything possible to prevent another irreversible mistake — not rushing toward one.

Tomorrow at 6 pm, Florida plans to execute James “Erny” Hitchcock for the 1976 murder of 13-year-old Cynthia Driggers — despite deeply troubling evidence that he did not commit the crime. fadp.org/florida-may-ex…

The push for a stay of execution has gained momentum from advocacy groups like Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP), which points to Florida’s record of 30 death row exonerations—the highest in the country. @tampafreepress tampafp.com/james-hitchcoc…

“I spent years on death row for a crime I didn’t commit. The difference is, my execution warrant was never signed. I’m proof that Florida has been wrong before – and executing James Hitchcock risks making that mistake permanent,” said Herman Lindsey, a Florida death row exoneree, board member at FADP, and the Executive Director of Witness to Innocence.

“I murdered that girl in Florida and blamed it on my brother Erny.” Richard Hitchcock confessed to the murder of Cynthia Driggers repeatedly before his death. Florida plans to kill his innocent brother on April 30 anyway. Take action: bit.ly/SpareHitchcock

On a can’t-miss “Between the Lines” dropping tomorrow, the @ACLU's Capital Punishment Project’s Maria DeLiberato discusses Florida’s“conveyor belt” of executions amid @GovRonDeSantis record-breaking death warrants. Also, what's the toll the fast-paced number of lethal injections on people involved in the process? @FADPorg Brought to you by @StateAffairsFL, listen wherever you get your podcasts.
