Florida Executed Cop Killer Donald Dillbeck Who Attacked Ron DeSantis in Foul-Mouthed Last Words

Convicted cop killer Donald Dillbeck, who was executed in the Florida State Prison death chamber Thursday night, used his final words to criticize Governor Ron DeSantis.

Tallahassee Democrat reported that while strapped to a gurney, Dillbeck said minutes before he was executed, "I know I hurt people when I was young. I really messed up. But I know Ron DeSantis has done a lot worse. He's taken a lot from a lot of people. I speak for all men, women, and children. He's put his foot on our necks. Ron DeSantis and other people like him can suck our d***s."

After his comment, the Florida Department of Corrections personnel started administering the three drugs that sedated and paralyzed him and then stopped his heart. The 59-year-old convicted cop killer was pronounced dead after 11 minutes, or at 6:13 p.m.

Vans carrying visitors for Dillbeck's vigil were seen departing the prison around 6:20 p.m. Dillbeck was executed after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a last-minute petition by his lawyers on Wednesday.

He was sent to death row after he was convicted of the murder of Faye Lamb Vann in a Tallahassee mall parking lot in 1990. Court documents showed that Dillbeck had escaped from a work-release catering job in Gadsden County at the time of Vann's murder.

He was serving a life sentence in Gadsden County for killing 31-year-old Lee County Deputy Dwight Lynn Hall in 1979. Dillbeck was 15 at the time. After he escaped, Dillbeck went to Tallahassee and attempted to carjack a vehicle. Vann was sitting inside the car and he fatally stabbed her when she resisted.

Dillbeck was convicted in 1991 of first-degree murder, armed robbery, and armed burglary. His execution is the 100th since the Supreme Court reinstated the practice in 1975 and the first carried out in Florida in over three years.

Family members of Faye Lamb Vann looked on with stony expressions while sitting in the witness gallery. They did not speak to reporters after the convicted cop killer was put to death.

But in a written statement from two of Vann's children released by Department of Corrections spokeswoman Michelle Glady, Tony and Laura Vann said: "11,932 days ago Donald Dillbeck brutally killed our mother. We were robbed of years of memories with her, and it has been very painful ever since. However, the execution has given us some closure."

Florida Cop Killer Started His Last Day Early

On his last day, Tallahassee Democrat reported that Donald Dillbeck woke up early. Michelle Glady said Dillbeck went through his usual routine and visited with his spiritual adviser. Corrections officials said he was "calm."

According to Fox News, Dillbeck ate his last meal at 9:45 a.m., which included fried shrimp, onion rings, mushrooms, ice cream, pecan pie, and chocolate. The state Department of Corrections said the cost of food should not exceed $40 and must be purchased locally.

Donald Dillbeck Should Be Exempted From the Execution, His Lawyers Say

Donald Dillbeck asked the Supreme Court to delay his execution and review his case. Due to neurobehavioral disorder associated with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure, Dillbeck's lawyers argued that their client was entitled to be exempted from execution.

However, The Hill reported that the Supreme Court rejected both his request for a stay of the execution and to review his case on Wednrsday. Dillbeck's death sentence was finalized last month when Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who also rejected his request for a temporary stay at the state level, signed the death warrant.
