Florida has carried out a double execution described as "incredibly rare", putting to death two men on the same day, including a former police officer convicted of murdering an 11-year-old girl in the 1980s. Simultaneous or same-day executions are unusual in the US justice system, making this a notable event in the state's use of capital punishment.

Among those executed was James Duckett, a former law enforcement officer who killed the young girl decades ago, and Dominick Occhione, whose case was carried out alongside his. The limited details available do not specify the exact charges against Occhione or the precise circumstances of either execution, but the pairing of two death sentences carried out together marks a significant departure from Florida's usual practice of scheduling executions individually.
