Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has made a case against delaying the execution of inmate Loran Cole, who is suffering from Parkinson's symptoms. Moody argued that Cole's appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the state's lethal injection procedures came too late.
According to Moody, Cole, aged 57, raised concerns about the drug cocktail causing him unnecessary pain and suffering due to his Parkinson's disease only after his death warrant was signed. Moody's office stated that Cole had known about his Parkinson's symptoms for at least seven years but had not previously challenged the lethal injection process.
