Car Crash Starke Florida in Starke, Florida: Florida executed 74-year-old Dusty Ray Spencer by lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke on Thursday evening, making him the oldest inmate ever put to death in the state. Spencer was pronounced dead at 6:10 p.m. after receiving Florida's three-drug lethal injection protocol, with officials reporting no complications. He had been convicted in 1992 of the first-degree murder of his wife, Karen Spencer, whom he fatally stabbed outside the family's home after striking her with a brick. Before the execution, Spencer apologized to the victim's family and prayed; the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene earlier that day.
