Florida on Tuesday carried out its 15th execution of the year \u2014 a record under Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> \u2014 putting to death Norman Mearle Grim Jr., who was convicted of raping and murdering his neighbor more than two decades ago.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Desantis confirmed 65-year-old Grim was pronounced dead at 6:14 p.m. after receiving a three-drug injection at the Florida State Prison near Starke, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson, Alex Lanfranconi, noted that Grim was asked if he had a final statement before receiving the injection, and he replied, “No sir.”<\/p>\n

Lanfranconi also said there were no complications during the execution.<\/a><\/p>\n

FLORIDA CONTINUES TO EXTEND RECORD EXECUTION YEAR WITH MAN PUT TO DEATH FOR KILLING WIFE’S FAMILY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Grim was sentenced to death after being convicted of sexual battery and first-degree murder in the death of Cynthia Campbell. The victim was reported missing<\/a> in July 1998 and her body, which was battered, was found by a fisherman in the water near the Pensacola Bay Bridge.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors made the case that Campbell suffered multiple blunt-force injuries to her face and head, consistent with those of being struck by a hammer. She also had 11 stab wounds in the chest.<\/p>\n

When an autopsy was conducted on Campbell, it was discovered that seven of the 11 stab wounds penetrated her heart. Physical evidence, including DNA, tied Grim to Campbell\u2019s murder.<\/p>\n

FLORIDA BREAKS 50-YEAR EXECUTION RECORD WITH NINTH DEATH SENTENCE CARRIED OUT THIS YEAR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, and since then, the highest previous annual total of executions in Florida was set at eight in 2014.<\/p>\n

This year, though, Florida has executed more people<\/a> than any other state, followed by Texas and Alabama with five each.<\/p>\n

Grim waived any appeal to his conviction earlier this month, despite being given a last chance to make an appeal to the Florida Supreme Court<\/a> and U.S. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

When he woke up at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Grim had fried pork chops and mashed potatoes with a chocolate milkshake, the Department of Corrections told The AP. The spokesperson said Grim did not have any visitors, nor did he meet with a spiritual advisor before the execution.<\/p>\n

Two more executions are planned next month<\/a> in Florida.<\/p>\n

Bryan Fredrick Jennings, 66, is scheduled for the state\u2019s 16th execution on Nov. 13. He was convicted of raping and killing a 6-year-old girl in 1979 after entering through a window and abducting her from her central Florida home.<\/p>\n

Richard Barry Randolph, 63, is set for Florida\u2019s 17th execution on Nov. 20. He was convicted of the 1988 rape and fatal beating of his former manager at a Florida convenience store.<\/p>\n

Florida\u2019s lethal injections are carried out with a sedative, a paralytic and a drug that stops the heart, according to the state Department of Corrections.<\/p>\n
