Richard Henyard death warrent signed.
July 9, 2008 on 8:37 pm | In Case news, State legal news | No Comments |Friends,
Governor Crist signed another death warrant today. Richard Henyard is now scheduled to be killed on Tuesday, September 23rd at 6:00 p.m.
The Commission on Capital Cases has compiled a list of 19 “warrant ready” prisoners. A news report today stated that earlier this year, Crist asked for a list of “about five death row inmates who have served the longest or committed the most heinous crimes so he could sign warrants ordering those executions.”
We will keep the website updated as things develop.
