USA: Two Convicted Men Executed in Florida and Texas
In the USA, two death row inmates were executed in Florida and Texas. In Florida, 70-year-old James Hitchcock was executed after being sentenced to death in 1977 and waiting nearly 50 years for his death sentence to be carried out. His case involved the murder of 13-year-old Cynthia Driggers, which was committed one year before his conviction.
