The governor’s office said Louis Bernard Gaskin, 56, was pronounced dead at 6:15 p.m. after receiving a lethal injection for the deaths of Robert Sturmfels, 56, and Georgette Sturmfels, 55, who were visiting their winter home from New Jersey on Dec. 20, 1989, when Gaskin murdered them.
“He referred to his case that didn’t go wrong,” Koch said. “He said, ‘It’s not about the crime or the criminal. It’s about the law. The last four words of his life were, ‘Look at my case.’” He then went to the home of Joseph and Mary Rector, according to the summary. After Joseph Rector got out of bed to investigate a noise, he was shot, but the Rectors were able to get to a car and drive to a hospital.Local media reported at the time that Gaskin quickly confessed to the crimes and told a psychologist before his trial that he knew what he was doing.

It was the state’s 100th execution since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976. There are another 297 people on Florida’s death row.for the 1990 murder of Faye Vann, 44, in Tallahassee, and three weeks before the scheduled execution of Darryl B. Barwick for slaying Rebecca Wendt, 24, in 1986 in Panama City.
