Desanti's sign signed 10. Death sentence in 7 months for Kayle Bates, 43 years after murder of Janet White

More than 43 years after Janet White was kidnapped and murdered from an insurance office in Bay County, governor Ron Desantis signed a death sentence against the convicted murderer Kayle Barrington Bates on Friday.

The 67 -year -old Bates is to be executed in the Florida State Prison on August 19 and could be the 10th inmate, which will be killed in the state of fatal injection this year. Desantis signed the death command after the Supreme Court of the United States rejected on June 30 in his procedure to appeal to Bates in connection with a juror.

On June 14, 1982, Bates was convicted of the murder of White, which was kidnapped by a state farm insurance office in which she worked. He was also convicted of kidnapping, trying sexual battery and armed robbery.

A short letter, which was submitted to the Supreme Court of Florida last year by the Attorney General, said Bates broken into the insurance office when White was for lunch and surprised her when she returned.

“When Bates White surprised, she exhibited a grain of bone and fought for her life,” said the letter. “He overwhelmed her and took her violently from the office building into the forest, where he struck wildly, strangled and tried to rape it, and left about 30 premements, shots and cuts in different parts of her face and body. Bate was found at the crime of the crime and he had the victim in his clothing. Bag.”

Bates was convicted in 1983 and sentenced to death, but a judge ordered a new conviction years later. According to court documents, Bates was again sentenced to death in 1995.

The Supreme Court of Florida rejected an appeal last year in which Bates tried to interview a juror from his 1983 trial. The complaint included a potential family relationship between the juror and white, but justice John Couriel wrote that “Bates” efforts to interview one of his jurors is 40 years late.

After the judgment of the Supreme Court of Florida, Bates went to the Supreme Court of the United States and led to the decision of June 30, in which his petition was rejected.

Desantis signed three days after the state Michael Bell had executed in the murders of two people from 1993 in front of a Jacksonville bar. With the Bell version, the state approved a record of eight executions from modern times in one year.

The state is also scheduled to be planned on July 31 to carry out Edward Zakrzewski, who was convicted of murder to his wife and two children in Okaloosa County in 1994. Zakrzewski's lawyers asked Florida's Supreme Court to stop the execution, although the judges had not decided by Friday afternoon.

Florida also executed eight inmates in 1984 and 2014, which was used the most since the death penalty in 1976 after a decision by the U.S.'s Supreme Court stopped the executions in 1972.

Other inmates that were executed this year were Thomas Gudinas on June 24; Anthony Wainwright on June 10; Glen Rogers on May 15; Jeffrey Hutchinson on May 1st; Michael Tanzi on April 8; Edward James on March 20; and James Ford on February 13th.
