STARKE—
The execution of a former Florida police officer for the murder of nine people 26 years ago was briefly put on hold Tuesday evening.
The lethal injection of 56-year-old Manuel Pardo was scheduled for 6 p.m. at Florida State Prison in Starke, but it was delayed while waiting for the U.S. Supreme Court to make a decision on his final appeals. The court rejected them without comment, allowing the execution to go on.
Officials said most of Pardo's victims were involved with drugs. Pardo contended that he was doing the world a favor by killing them in 1986.
Pardo's attorneys are trying to block his execution. They are arguing in federal appeals court that he is mentally ill, something his trial attorney believed more than two decades ago.
Pardo, a former Sweetwater police officer, was dubbed the “Death Row Romeo” after he corresponded with dozens of women and persuaded many to send him money.
