I wrote about the man Florida plans to kill tonight and how the death penalty impacts people in ways we might never imagine.

7 veterans have already been executed, 5 were in Florida, where the next 2 of veterans are. Veterans will make up nearly a quarter of the executions this year.
What a betrayal — to execute those who once served their country, especially under a governor who is himself a veteran.

Rocky Myers had been on death row in Alabama for decades despite serious flaws in the case. In 2023 he was part of our Write for Rights campaign, where 100s of 1000s worldwide urged Alabama Gov Kay Ivey to commute his sentence. On Feb 28, 2025, Gov Ivey granted that commutation.

Florida is responsible for the single highest number (117) of death-sentenced veterans in any state — accounting for roughly 15% of all veterans nationwide who have received death sentences.
