Melvin Trotter, 65, is set to become the second person executed in Florida this year, with a three-drug injection scheduled for 6 p.m. on Tuesday at Florida State Prison near Starke. Trotter was convicted of the 1986 murder of grocery store owner Virgie Langford.
He was initially sentenced to death in 1987, but the Florida Supreme Court ordered a new sentencing in 1993 after finding errors in how aggravating factors were handled, leading to him again receiving the death penalty.
