Court Lifts Stay On Execution
June 29, 2013
The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta has lifted its stay on the planned execution of Marshall Lee Gore, who was a month ago found by a state panel competent to be put to death.
The federal court ruled that the request by Gore’s attorney failed to meet the merits for the stay. Gore was to have been put to death by lethal injection on Monday. The Governor’s Office has set the new execution date for Wednesday, July 10.
Gore, 49, was convicted in the 1988 murders of two women in Miami-Dade and Columbia counties. The execution was scheduled for the murder of Robyn Novick, whose body was found in rural Miami-Dade County after being last seen leaving the parking lot of a tavern, according to a summary in a 2009 Florida Supreme Court ruling. Gov.
Rick Scott initially signed the death warrant on May 13, but at the request of Gore’s attorney put a temporary stay in effect on May 22 so a panel of psychiatrists could consider whether Gore was sane enough to be executed. The panel was asked to determine whether Gore understood the nature and effect of the death penalty and why it was to be imposed upon him. Scott’s stay was lifted May 31 following the psychiatric review.

Good bye sir. The same good bye you gave your victim.
If he was sane when he killed them it should not matter if he is sane or insane now……25 years is far too long to wait for his sentence to be carried out.
I don’t even want to see his face.
He has been competent all along, the stark realization that “now the judgement against me is going to really happen” is here, thus the last ditch efforts of a criminal to save his own life have failed…this judgement by mere mortals is but the introduction to the highest court where he will bow before our maker and be judged…
