Florida ejecuta a preso que mató a su compañero para obtener pena de muerte

James Robertson fue ejecutado mediante inyección letal en una prisión de Florida, convirtiéndose en la 17ª ejecución del estado en 2026. Robertson había admitido haber asesinado a su compañero de celda en 2008 para obtener la pena de muerte.

Días antes, el gobernador Ron DeSantis anuló la orden de ejecución del interno de 74 años William Lee Thompson, alegando demencia avanzada y problemas cardíacos. La medida se tomó mientras Florida mantenía programada la ejecución de Robertson.
