Wilson Challenges Carrico in District 4 | Jacksonville News

Scott Wilson, former Jacksonville City Council leader and architect of the JEA investigation, is launching a Republican challenge against District 4 Councilmember Kevin Carrico in the March election. Wilson, who recently retired from a high-paying city role and moved back into the district, is blasting Carrico for poor accessibility, lack of accountability, and a focus on distractions — even referencing a state attorney’s probe. Carrico, currently under scrutiny for a text message scandal tied to a JEA board appointment, has fired back, accusing Wilson of abandoning the district for a city job and questioning whether he’ll use city resources. With Carrico poised to run again and both candidates locked in a heated feud, this race promises to be one of the most compelling in Jacksonville’s upcoming election.

Florida Set for First Dual Executions in Decades | Jacksonville News

Florida’s Supreme Court has sealed the fate of two death row inmates, clearing the way for their executions on July 28th — the first time the state has carried out multiple executions since 1962. James Duckett, a former cop convicted of raping and murdering an 11-year-old girl in 1987, has maintained his innocence despite DNA evidence that the court deemed unrebuttable. Meanwhile, 80-year-old Dominick Occhicone, convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend’s parents in 1986, had his final appeals denied over concerns about lethal injection drugs, his health, and Florida’s accelerating execution pace. Both men are scheduled to die by lethal injection — Duckett at noon, Occhicone six hours later — amid growing national scrutiny over Florida’s death penalty system and its record-setting pace, with 19 executions already this year. The U.S. Supreme Court remains the last possible check, but for now, the state moves forward. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
