Waiting for the execution of two men condemned for murder in Texas and Florida

Two men sentenced for murder, including one who has spent more than 25 years in the arm of death, They will be executed through lethal injection in the southern States of the United States, Florida and Texas.

James Ford, 64, was sentenced to death in Florida in 1999 For the 1997 murders of Greg Malnory, 25 years old, and his wife, Kimberly, 26 years old, two work colleagues on a farm in the city of Punta Gorda.
Richard Tabler, 46, should die from 2004 murders Of an owner of a strip club, Mohamed Amine Rahmouni, and another man, Haitham Zayed, in the city of Killeen, Texas. Tabler also has confessed to have killed two teenage dancers in the club, 16 and 18 years old, but has never been tried for their death.

According to the documents of the court, Ford, the condemned to death of Florida, shot Greg Malnory in his head and cut his throat. His wife was raped, beaten and hit by a gunshots. Their bodies were discovered by an employee of the farm the next day. The daughter of 22 months of the couple spent more than 18 hours tied at a car seat in their pick-up before they are found. He was covered with mosquito stings and his mother’s blood, according to the court documents. Ford was sentenced for two garments of first instance murder, rape and abuse on minors.

Ford’s lawyers tried to stop its execution claiming that although he was 36 years old at the time of murders, he was the mental and development age of a fourteen year old. A sentence of the 2005 United States Supreme Court prevented the execution of people who were under 18 when they committed their crimes. The Supreme Court of Florida rejected Ford’s thesis last week and he presented a last desperate appeal to the US Supreme Court.

Tabler, Texas’s prisoner, gave up the appeals against the death sentence. In the United States there were three executions this year: one in Alabama, one in the South Carolina and one in Texas. Last year they were performed 25 executions in the country.
