James Robertson was executed by lethal injection at a Florida state prison, marking the state's 17th execution of 2026. Robertson had previously confessed that he murdered his cellmate in 2008 to secure a death-row sentence.

Earlier in the week, Governor Ron DeSantis withdrew the death warrant for 74-year-old inmate William Lee Thompson, citing advanced dementia and heart failure. The decision came as Florida had already scheduled Robertson’s execution, a plan first reported after the state set a lethal-injection date.
