TALLAHASSEE, FL – After over three decades on death row, Michael Lambrix is scheduled to be executed on Thursday, October 5, 2017, at 6:00 p.m. Lambrix received two death sentences for the 1983 murders of Clarence Moore and Aleisha Bryant. In a September 28 letter on behalf of the bishops of Florida, Michael Sheedy, executive director, Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops, appeals to Governor Rick Scott to commute Mr. Lambrix’s death sentence to a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Governor Rick Scott has scheduled an October 5 execution for Cary Michael Lambrix, a Death Row inmate convicted of killing Aleisha Bryant and Clarence Moore in 1983. Scott ordered Lambrix to be put to death last year, but the Florida Supreme Court put the execution on hold after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the state's death-penalty sentencing system. The death warrant for Lambrix, issued Friday, September 1, came little more than a week after Mark Asay was executed by lethal injection in the state's first execution in 19 months.
