Florida executed Donald Dillbeck—a 59-year-old man who was sentenced for fatally stabbing Faye Vann—with a “three-drug cocktail” on Thursday evening, according to local media. Dillbeck used his last words to insult Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who signed Dillbeck’s death warrant last month, turning him into what one advocate called a “political pawn.”
Dillbeck didn’t want anyone to be confused by his final words, according to Tallahassee Democrat:
“I know I hurt people when I was young. I really messed up. But I know Ron DeSantis has done a lot worse. He’s taken a lot from a lot of people. I speak for all men, women and children. He’s put his foot on our necks. Ron DeSantis and other people like him can suck our dicks.”
“I’m not minimizing what he did to people, but he is most definitely a political pawn,” Allison Miller, a defense attorney, told the Tallahassee Democrat.
