Florida executes James Robertson, 63, in its 17th execution this year

Florida executed James Robertson, 63, by lethal injection on Tuesday at Florida State Prison, nearly 18 years after he fatally attacked his cellmate, an act he said he committed deliberately to be sentenced to death. He died about 10 minutes after the injection and declined to give a final statement. State officials said it occurred without complications, Florida's first execution since a botched lethal injection in Tennessee and its 17th this year.
