Jerry Correll Case
Florida has executed a man convicted of fatally stabbing his ex-wife, young daughter and two others in 1985.
Jerry Correll was pronounced dead at 7.36pm on Thursday at Florida State Prison after receiving a lethal injection. The execution came after the US supreme court rejected his last appeals.
The 59-year-old Correll had been found guilty and sentenced to death for each of the four killings. He was convicted of killing his former wife Susan Correll, their five-year-old daughter, Tuesday; Susan Correll’s mother, Mary Lou Hines; and Susan Correll’s sister, Marybeth Jones.
Correll became the 22nd inmate to be executed under Governor Rick Scott — the most executions under a single governor since the death penalty was reinstated in Florida in 1979.
Twenty-one inmates were executed during two full terms of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
Correll had been scheduled for execution in February 2014 but it was put on hold as his attorneys in Florida, and attorneys at the US supreme court in a separate case out of Oklahoma, argued over whether a sedative used in the execution protocol was effective in knocking inmates out. The sedative, midazolam, is one of three drugs used in executions in Florida and some other states.
The US supreme court ruled last June in an Oklahoma case that the use of midazolam was constitutional. Correll’s case was then sent back to a court in Orlando where a state judge his execution could take place.
