US EditionSupreme Court Denies Thomas Gudinas' Plea. He Will Be Executed for Florida Murder Today
- On the evening of Tuesday, June 24, 2025, Thomas Lee Gudinas was put to death by lethal injection at Florida State Prison for his conviction in the killing of Michelle McGrath that occurred in 1994.
- Gudinas was convicted in 1995 for attacking and killing McGrath after she left a nightclub in Orlando, and his execution followed the denial of multiple appeals including a final U.S. Supreme Court rejection hours before the execution.
- His attorneys argued he was too mentally ill to execute, submitting rambling writings and a letter seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump, but Florida courts rejected these claims and denied access to execution selection records.
- Thomas Gudinas was executed at 6:13 p.m., marking him as the seventh person put to death in Florida in 2025—a year in which the state is projected to tie its modern record of eight executions.
- The execution continues Florida's increased use of capital punishment under Governor DeSantis, and another execution for Michael Bernard Bell is scheduled for July 15, 2025.
