Florida man to be executed for 1997 double murder witnessed by toddler
James Dennis Ford, 64, is scheduled for execution in Florida for the 1997 murders of Gregory and Kimberly Malnory, witnessed by their toddler.
Ford was sentenced to death after a jury found him guilty of the murders, supported by evidence including DNA and a rifle linked to the crime.
The Florida Supreme Court rejected Ford's final appeal, confirming that he was 36 at the time of the murders and not eligible for death penalty exemption due to intellectual disability claims.
If executed, Ford would be the first person executed in Florida in 2025, following only one execution in 2024 and six in 2023.
