STARKE, Fla. A Florida man previously convicted for the July 31, 1976, killing of 13-year-old Cynthia Driggers was executed Thursday evening at Florida State Prison; James Ernest Hitchcock, 70, received a lethal three-drug injection beginning at 6 p.m., and officials pronounced him dead shortly after the procedure began. Officials said Hitchcock was initially sentenced in 1977 and resentenced in 1988, 1993 and 1996 after appeals; this execution was reported as Florida's sixth of 2026 following a record 19 in 2025. Prison officials described procedural details including the timing of the injection and a final statement made by Hitchcock before he was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m.
