Florida Executes 74 Year Old Man, 14th State Prisoner Put to Death This Year The execution of 74 year old Harold Gene Lucas in Florida marks the 14th such event this year in the state and the 47th nationwide in 2025.
These numbers are stark reminders of the prevalence of capital punishment in America. Florida has long been a leader in executing prisoners, with Governor Ron DeSantis consistently signing off on death warrants.
This month alone will see two more executions, including that of Daniel Owen Conahan Jr. , who was convicted of kidnapping and strangling a man he had paid to pose for nude photos.
