Florida Governor DeSantis Signs Death Warrant for Michael Duane Zack III in Monroe Murder Case

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed a death warrant for Michael Duane Zack III, who was convicted of the 1996 kidnapping and murder of a woman in Miami. The decision marks a significant moment in Florida's criminal justice system, bringing the state closer to executing Zack, who has been on death row since his conviction.

The case dates back to the brutal murder of Ravonne Smith in 1996, where Zack was found guilty of first-degree murder, kidnapping, and robbery. The signing of the death warrant by Governor DeSantis, who has been vocal about his stance on capital punishment, underscores his administration's approach to law enforcement and criminal justice.

The move has reignited discussions on the death penalty in Florida, with advocates and opponents expressing their views on the matter. The execution is scheduled to take place in the coming months, pending any last-minute legal interventions.
