State Urges Florida Supreme Court to Allow Execution of Brevard County Killer

66 year old Bryan Jennings is scheduled to be executed November 13 for the 1979 rape and murder of 6-year-old Rebecca Kunash in Merritt Island. The state asked the Florida Supreme Court Sunday to reject arguments from Jennings’ lawyers seeking a new clemency review and claiming due-process violations. If carried out, Jennings would be the 16th inmate executed in Florida this year.
