Overview

• Glen Rogers, known as the 'Casanova Killer,' was executed by lethal injection in Florida on May 15, 2025, for the 1995 murder of Tina Marie Cribbs.
• Rogers, also sentenced to death in California for another murder, was suspected of additional homicides across multiple states, though some claims remain unverified.
• This execution is the 16th in the U.S. this year, with four more scheduled this week, potentially bringing the total to 19 for 2025.
• Rogers's defense argued that his blood condition, porphyria, would cause undue suffering during lethal injection, but appeals were rejected by state and federal courts.
• The rise in executions reflects growing political support for the death penalty, with 27 states authorizing its use, though methods and policies vary widely.
