Florida carried out its 19th execution of the year, matching a record set in 2025, with Jesse Guardado being pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. following a three-drug injection. Guardado had pleaded guilty to fatally stabbing 75-year-old Jackie Malone in 2004. Hours earlier, Indiana executed Jeffrey Weisheit for killing his girlfriend's two children in a house fire in 2010, and Alabama executed Michael Taylor for the 1991 killing of an elderly couple during a robbery. These executions occurred on the same day California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced plans to commute all 548 death sentences in his state, citing incompatibility with California's values.
