Cole, 57, is scheduled to be executed at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Florida State Prison. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed his death warrant in July. Cole was convicted of kidnapping adult siblings camping in the Ocala National Forest in 1994, raping the sister and murdering the brother.
“Cole’s Parkinson’s symptoms will make it impossible for Florida to safely and humanely carry out his execution because his involuntary body movements will affect the placement of the intravenous lines necessary to carry out an execution by lethal injection,” his attorneys argued in court filings.
Making people suffer does not undo the suffering they caused, nor does it deter others who do such horrible acts. Finding out what lead to the acts could help others. Instead, we just want to cause more suffering, Which says more about us than it does about the sick man who did these things.
