Edward Zakrzewski, convicted of murdering his wife and two children in 1994, was executed in Florida on August 3, making him the ninth person executed in the state this year. He received a lethal injection at a prison near Stark and expressed gratitude for the execution process, stating he had no complaints. Zakrzewski, 60, committed the murders after his wife sought a divorce, using a clover, rope, and machete. His multiple legal appeals failed, with the final one rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court just days before his execution. Florida has seen the highest number of executions in the U.S. this year, with more scheduled in August. Zakrzewski’s case raised questions about the fairness of his sentencing, given the divided jury that recommended the death penalty.
