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

Richard Randolph, now Malik Abdul-Sajjad, is scheduled to die tonight. His biological mother will never get a chance to meet him.

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.
