The Brief Florida Supreme Court denied James Duckett's request to halt his execution, with the U.S. Supreme Court now his final option. The Florida Supreme Court on Friday cleared another legal hurdle for the executions of two death row inmates scheduled to die Tuesday, denying requests to halt the lethal injections while both men continue to seek relief from the U.S. Supreme Court. Both inmates have pending requests before the U.S. Supreme Court. The Florida Supreme Court temporarily halted Duckett's execution in March after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed Duckett's execution warrant, but the Florida Supreme Court temporarily stayed the execution while DNA testing was conducted.
