On August 29, 2024, the State of Florida executed Loran Cole. It was the first execution in the State of Florida in 2024--almost a year after the last execution.
I watched the Death Penalty Action-sponsored vigil with a heavy heart for all concerned, especially Loran's family and friends. The response to the petitions for clemency by the state was underwhelming and, until the death penalty is abolished, America is not the land of the free. I am praying for sanity to return to our land, soon.
