Content: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed his death warrant on June 11, 2019. Appeals by Bowles' attorney, including ones to the Florida Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court, were denied. Among those scheduled to witness the execution was De la Rionda, representing Hilton's family. " In this case, the victim's sister and the victim's mother are both deceased," he said. " And that's part of the tragedy—that it has taken so long to get where we are at." Florida has executed several notorious serial killers since resuming use of the death penalty in 1976, including Ted Bundy and Aileen Wuornos. As of last week, there are 342 inmates still on death row in Florida. Request Reprint & Licensing, Submit Correction or view Editorial Guidelines
