Florida executes inmate with same method Tennessee used in botched Pike case


Florida executed a prisoner by lethal injection Tuesday, nearly two weeks after Tennessee’s botched attempt to kill Christa Pike using the same method.

James Robertson, 63, was executed at Florida State Prison in north Florida for the 2008 murder of his cellmate Frank Hart, whom he said he killed so that he could be sentenced to death rather than spend the rest of his life behind bars. He was pronounced dead at 12:32 p.m., according to the Florida Department of Corrections.
