Welcome to

A cry for mercy tonight for a convicted killer.

The Florida Catholic Conference is asking Governor Rick Scott to spare David Alan Gore from the death penalty. Gore is scheduled to be executed Thursday at 6PM EST for the murder of six women. Florida Catholic Conference Executive Director Dr. Michael McCarron doesn’t defend Gore’s actions, but says the state shouldn’t be killing people.

“The crimes committed by David Gore are absolutely horrendous and they cry out to God for justice, but justice can be achieved without taking his life,” said McCarron.

In 1983 Gore admitted to the killings. Gore, with the help of his cousin, kidnapped and tortured the women before ending their lives.
