PENSACOLA, Fla. (AP) — After more than 20 years, three trials and numerous appeals, Tom McAdams of Pensacola plans to witness the execution of the man convicted of killing his brother.
Johnny Shane Kormondy is scheduled to die Thursday at Florida State Prison for the 1993 home-invasion murder of Gary McAdams. Two other men are serving life sentences for their roles in the 1993 Pensacola home invasion that lead to McAdam's death. McAdams' wife was raped by the men who barged into the couple's home after staking out the neighborhood for a place to rob. She also plans to witness the scheduled execution.
Gov. Rick Scott issued Kormondy's death warrant in late November. He would be the 21st prisoner executed since Scott took office in 2011.
