Stop the Execution of Jeffrey Hutchinson in Florida

Florida Board of Executive Clemency and Governor Ron DeSantis

Florida has scheduled Jeffrey Hutchinson for execution on May 1, 2025 for his alleged 1998 murders of Renee Flaherty and her children, Geoffrey, Amanda and Logan. Hutchinson has no recollection of the crime resulting from the PTSD and Gulf War Syndrome that came from his time in the service.

Call Governor DeSantis at 850-717-9243 with the following message:

'Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling to ask that Gov. DeSantis stops the execution of Jeffrey Hutchinson on May 1, 2025. I am deeply concerned that yet again, the State of Florida is gearing up to execute an individual who served our country. We have ample understanding of the damage that war does to an individual, not to mention, Gulf War Syndrome. It is our responsibility to take care of the individuals who served our country, not murder them as a consequence for actions that resulted from their trauma during combat. The State of Florida cannot claim to care about its veterans and execute them at the same time."

Jeffrey Hutchinson is a decorated Gulf War veteran. This video is from his December 2024 clemency hearing. Learn more at Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty.

Florida's continued use of executions marks the state as an outlier in its use of the death penalty. The majority of other states are on a downward trend of executions.

Please sign the petition asking Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida State Board of Executive Clemency to do everything within their power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.

We are writing in regards to the scheduled execution of Jeffrey Hutchinson in Florida - set for May 1, 2025 in response to the 1998 murders of Renee Flaherty and her children, Geoffrey, Amanda and Logan.

Jeffrey Hutchinson honorably served in the US Army Rangers, notably in a forward observer unit during the first Gulf War. He was exposed to toxins which have impacted his health ever since. Please review the clemency materials.

Furthermore, we are concerned that while the vast majority of states with capital punishment continue on a downward trend of executions, Florida is going against this trend by resuming and increasing the frequency of executions.

We, the undersigned, ask that you do everything within your power to stop this execution, including issuing a stay, and seeking a path to clemency in the case.
