Florida Set to Execute William Silvia | Jacksonville News

Florida is set to execute 61-year-old William Silvia tonight at 6 PM for the 2006 murder of his estranged wife, Patricia — a crime that also left his mother-in-law critically injured. After a bitter breakup, Silvia drove to his mother-in-law’s home armed with a shotgun he’d purchased that same day, fatally shooting Patricia and wounding her mother-in-law. With both Florida’s Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court denying his final appeals, all legal options are exhausted. If carried out, this will be Florida’s 13th execution of the year — a grim conclusion to a case spanning nearly two decades.
