An inmate whose execution was stayed in December by a Florida Supreme Court busy with presidential election disputes was executed by lethal injection at Florida State Prison. Robert Glock, 39, was pronounced dead at 6:28 p.m. The U.S. Supreme Court denied Glock's final appeals. There was no dissent in the denials. Glock was convicted in the 1983 kidnap-slaying of Sharilyn Johnson Ritchie. Glock becomes the 1st condemned inmate to be put to death this year in Florida and the 51st overall since the state resumed capital punishment in 1979. Glock becomes the 3rd condemned inmate to be put to death this year in the USA and the 686th overall since America resumed executions on January 17, 1977.
