I'm not sure what he was being fed this week. But, after 33 years on Florida's death row, Lambrix had his last meal of Thanksgiving dinner and caramel ice cream last night.
Snip:
Lambrix, 57, was killed by lethal injection at 10:10 p.m., 15 minutes after the process began. The execution was scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. but was delayed due to a last-minute appeal Lambrix filed to the United States Supreme Court earlier this week.
In 1983, Lambrix killed Clarence Moore with a tire iron and strangled Aleisha Bryant after inviting them over to his place for a spaghetti dinner in Glades County. In 1984, a jury convicted him on two counts of first-degree murder and voted in favor of the death penalty by counts of 8-4 on Moore’s behalf and 10-2 on Bryant’s.
Since then, Lambrix filed several state and federal appeals to review evidence and testimonies against his case. This resulted in the delay of two scheduled executions in 1988.
In January 2016, his execution was halted once again as the U.S. Supreme Court deliberated whether Lambrix’s execution was unconstitutional based on Hurst v. Florida, which ruled that a jury, not a judge, must find the facts of a case necessary to impose a death sentence. The court said the ruling was irrelevant to Lambrix’s case, which had already been decided decades earlier.
In 2017, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that death sentences must be declared by a unanimous jury of 12.
Since 1976, the state of Florida has executed 94 inmates total. There are currently 357 inmates on death row.
