佛罗里达州周二执行了77岁的威廉·里夫斯，这是州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯任期内今年的第18场死刑1。里夫斯因1986年射杀印第安河县警员理查德·拉茨科夫斯基被判一级谋杀罪1，在通过三药物注射后于下午6点12分被宣告死亡1。美国最高法院周二下午拒绝了他的最终上诉1。
里夫斯是今年被处死的第8位70岁以上的佛罗里达州囚犯1。超过100名退伍军人于周一致信德桑蒂斯，要求停止执行此案，理由是里夫斯系越战老兵，被美国退伍军人事务部评定为创伤后应激障碍100%致残1。
佛罗里达州执行死刑的速度明显加快。2024年该州执行了19场死刑创造州纪录，而2025年迄今已执行18场，计划本月再执行1场1。美国全国2025年迄今共执行47人，其中佛罗里达州占超过一半1。下一位定于2025年11月5日执行的是64岁的杰西·瓜尔达多1。
Florida carried out its 18th execution of 2025 on Tuesday when 77-year-old William Reeves was put to death for the 1986 shooting death of Indian River County police officer Richard Raetzkowski.1 Reeves was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. following lethal injection with three drugs: a sedative, a muscle relaxant, and a substance to stop his heart.1
The execution occurred despite last-minute legal intervention, as the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Reeves's final appeal on Tuesday afternoon without commentary.1 Reeves was a Vietnam War veteran rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as 100 percent disabled due to post-traumatic stress disorder, prompting more than 100 retired military members to send a letter to Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday urging him to halt the execution.1 The 77-year-old became the eighth person aged 70 or older executed in Florida this year.1
Florida has significantly accelerated its execution pace under DeSantis's administration.1 The state set a record in 2024 by carrying out 19 executions, and through 2025 has already executed 18 people with one more scheduled for this month.1 Nationally, the United States has executed 47 people so far in 2025, with Florida accounting for more than half of the 32 executions reported.1 The state's next scheduled execution is set for November 5, 2025, when 64-year-old Jesse Guardado is due to be put to death.1
