Florida has carried out its 14th execution of the year. Harold Gene Lucas, 74, has received a three-drug injection at Florida State Prison after waiving post-conviction appeals. He was convicted for the 1976 murder of Jill Piper and attempted murders of two friends. The governor has signed death warrants for two additional executions later this September.
