Florida is set to execute a 77-year-old man convicted of a 1995 murder
A 77-year-old Florida man convicted of murdering a woman in 1995 will be executed on Tuesday, becoming the 16th person put to death this year in Florida's busiest death chamber. Curtis Wilkie Beasley was found guilty of first-degree murder, robbery, and grand theft auto in the 1995 attack on Carolyn Monfort. Despite efforts to halt his execution due to cognitive decline, the Florida Supreme Court denied the appeals.
Beasley, set to receive a three-drug injection at the state prison, is the seventh individual over 70 to be executed in Florida this year.
