Convicted murderer Donald Dillbeck shared his last words before being executed – and they focused on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
The Tallahassee Democrat reported Dillbeck used his last words to say, “I know I hurt people when I was young. I really messed up.”
He added, “But I know Ron Desantis has done a lot worse. He’s taken a lot from a lot of people. I speak for all men, women and children. He’s put his foot on our necks. Ron Desantis and other people like him can (expletive).”
The outlet noted Dillbeck, 59, was executed Thursday evening by lethal injection with the official time of death being 6:13 p.m.
Last month, DeSantis signed Dillbeck’s death warrant.
Dillbeck was convicted of stabbing and killing a woman named Faye Lamb Vann in 1990 after escaping from custody while serving a life sentence for the murder of Lee County Deputy Dwight Lynn Hall.
Family members of Vann issued a statement on Dillbeck.
“11,932 days ago Donald Dillbeck brutally killed our mother,” Tony and Laura Vann wrote, per The Tallahassee Democrat.
