TALLAHASSEE, FL – The Attorney General's Office today filed a response with the United States Supreme Court to Mark Dean Schwab's petition for writ of certiorari and a motion to vacate Schwab's stay of execution. The response to the petition for writ of certiorari focuses on the fact that the Florida Supreme Court ratified Florida's lethal injection procedures and those procedures were affirmed through the decision today on Kentucky's Baze case, where procedures to similar Florida's were at issue.
