Linroy Bottoson, an inmate who believed he was locked in a battle between Satan and Jesus Christ, was executed for the kidnapping, robbery and slaying of the Eatonville postmistress 23 years ago.
Bottoson died at 5:12 p.m. for the Oct. 26, 1979, murder of Catherine Alexander, who was robbed, held captive for 83 hours, stabbed 16 times and then fatally crushed by a car.
The execution came two hours after Circuit Judge Anthony H. Johnson of Orlando ruled Bottoson competent. The U.S. Supreme Court also rejected an appeal Monday that argued Bottoson was mentally retarded.
