Florida has executed James "Erny" Hitchcock. For n Florida has executed James "Erny" Hitchcock. For nearly 50 years, he maintained his innocence of the tragic murder that resulted in his death sentence. In recent legal filings, Erny's brother confessed to the crime. Still, the state killed him.

Erny was the 9th person executed in the US and the 6th person killed by Florida in 2026. Florida is now responsible for two-thirds of all executions this year, a staggering rate of brutality.
