Florida Plans Execution of 77-Year-Old Convicted in 1995 Murder Case
Curtis Wilkie Beasley, a 77-year-old Florida man convicted of the 1995 hammer murder of Carolyn Monfort, is scheduled for execution Tuesday, marking Florida's 16th execution this year. Despite appeals citing his age and cognitive decline as cruel and unusual punishment, the Florida Supreme Court rejected these arguments. Beasley is set to receive a three-drug lethal injection at 6 pm. Separately, Tennessee plans to execute Christa Pike, the first woman in 200 years, later this week for a 1990s murder.
