A man convicted of killing two women, one in Florida and another in California, has been scheduled for execution in Florida under a death warrant signed Tuesday by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, the fifth this year.
Glen Edward Rogers, 62, is set to die by lethal injection May 15 at Florida State Prison near the city of Starke.
Rogers was convicted in 1997 and sentenced to death for the murder of Tina Marie Cribbs. The two were seen leaving a Gibsonton, Florida, bar together in November 1995. The woman was found stabbed to death in a hotel bathroom two days later.
Rogers received another death sentence in California in 1999. He met Sandra Gallagher at a Van Nuys, California, bar in September 1995. Her badly burned corpse was found in her truck a day later near Rogers’ apartment.
Rogers is also suspected in several other homicides throughout the United States.
Three other executions have taken place in Florida this year, with a fourth upcoming May 1, all by lethal injection.
On March 20, Edward James, 63, was executed for killing an 8-year-old girl and her grandmother in 1993. James Dennis Ford, 64, was put to death Feb. 13 for the 1997 murders of a married couple while out on a fishing trip. Earlier this month, Michael Tanzi, 48, died by lethal injection April 8 for kidnapping and murdering a woman in the Florida Keys in 2000.
Gulf War Army veteran Jeffrey Hutchinson, 59, is set to die by lethal injection May 1. He’s convicted of killing his girlfriend and her three children with a shotgun.

Our national Platform is utterly unambiguous on this point:
1.8 Death Penalty: We oppose the administration of the death penalty by the state.

Twenty Eight years on death row?!? For a thirty year old crime.
Why is this guy still taking oxygen? Why hasn’t he been in the dirt for 27 years?
President Trump is getting rid of illegal aliens. Isn’t it way past time to clear out the prisons of death row inmates?
A society *MUST* have a legitimate and fair justice system, and a rational series of punishments that fit the crimes men commit. There is no sanity in preserving the lives of felons duly convicted of crimes that have earned them the ultimate sanction.
The glaring weakness in the criminal justice system is the lack of the superlative standard for criminal conviction & sentencing. The existing standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt” is meant to afford protections from overzealous prosecutions. What there needs to be is a standard called ‘beyond any doubt’ and when that level of certainty is attained, the imposition of sentence need not be delayed by the almost interminable list of appeals, and times measured in decades. One appear heard by a different judge with no ties to the case to look for improprieties, and if none are found in a reasonable period of time say 14 days, the verdict stands and punishment immediately follows.
And again, I’m only suggesting that this higher standard be applied when the current standard has already been greatly exceeded.
