DeSantis Withdraws Death Warrant for Ailing Inmate

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis withdrew the death warrant for William Lee Thompson, 74, days before his scheduled lethal injection for a 1976 murder. It is the first such withdrawal in DeSantis's tenure, following Tennessee's botched execution of Christa Pike. Thompson's lawyers say he has dementia. Another Florida execution is still set for Tuesday.
