Florida executes death row inmate

The execution was the fifth carried out in Florida this year and followed decades of legal appeals.

Willacy used his last words to taunt his victim's family and reiterate his claim of innocence, a move that sparked fresh outrage from those present.

The case has been one of the state's most notorious, given the brutal nature of the crime.

Despite the controversy, the death sentence was carried out on Tuesday evening at the Florida State Prison.
