TALLAHASSEE -- Rejecting arguments that he should avoid lethal injection because he is insane, the Florida Supreme Court on Tuesday approved the execution of a Death Row inmate convicted of killing two women in 1988 in Miami-Dade and Columbia counties.

"In fact, the circuit court determined that ’[t]here is no credible evidence that Gore’s mental state is such that he believes he is being executed for any reason other than the murder of (the Miami-Dade victim).’ ’’ The Supreme Court opinion comes after Gov. Rick Scott set execution dates for Gore on June 24 and July 10 --- both of which were scuttled because of the dispute about his sanity.
