Donald Dillbeck, 59, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. after receiving a lethal injection at Florida State Prison. He had been convicted in the murder of Faye Vann, 44, in Tallahassee near the state Capitol.
Normally I just link out to a news story. I don’t think I ever used this feature of the aggregator tech I made: the ability to make a local post from a news story like the one you’re reading now. I made an exception in this case because I was so taken back by the quote the executed man said right before his death:
“I know I hurt people when I was young. I really messed up. But I know Ron DeSantis has done a lot worse. He’s taken a lot from a lot of people. I speak for all men, women and children. He’s put his foot on our necks.”
Kudos to Florida Politics for keeping journalism, however slanted as it always is, alive.
