Florida’s Final Hours for Dusty Ray Spencer

This Thursday, seventy-four-year-old Dusty Ray Spencer faces execution in Florida — the state’s ninth this year — for the 1992 murder of his wife, Karen. Despite appeals citing his age and health, Florida’s Supreme Court denied his final state-level request, and his case now rests with the U.S. Supreme Court. Spencer’s death sentence was resentenced in 1995 after legal errors in his original trial, and his appeals have been systematically rejected. Meanwhile, another execution looms for July 14th — Florida’s execution calendar is setting records under Governor Ron DeSantis, who oversaw more lethal injections in a single year than any Florida governor since the death penalty’s return in 1976.
