Mr. Lightbourne is sentenced to death for the first-degree murder of Nancy O'Farrell, who was fatally shot in 1981. In this appeal, Mr. Lightbourne argues that Florida's last execution was botched, citing the 34 minutes it took for the execution of Angel Diaz to be carried out. Mr. Lightbourne argues the state's execution method and procedures constitute cruel and unusual punishment. A trial judge held a hearing and denied Mr. Lightbourne's claims. This appeal followed.
