Stay the Execution of Dusty Ray Spencer

Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency

On Thursday, June 25 at 6 p.m., the State of Florida plans to execute Dusty Ray Spencer for the 1992 murder of his wife, Karen Spencer, in Orange County. We hold close everyone impacted by this tragic act of violence, including the loved ones of Karen Spencer and all those who have carried the pain of this case for more than three decades.

The death penalty is a broken and irreversible punishment that risks human error, deepens trauma, and perpetuates cycles of violence rather than ending them. Florida already has the option of life without parole, which ensures accountability and public safety without resorting to another killing.

Please take a moment to sign this petition urging Governor DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency to stop this execution.

We stand together to urge you top stop the execution of Dusty Ray Spencer, scheduled for Thursday, June 25.

Dusty Ray Spencer is facing execution for the 1992 murder of his wife Karen Spencer. We hold close everyone impacted by this tragic act of violence, including the loved ones of Karen Spencer and all those who have carried the pain of this case for more than three decades. Still, we ask that Florida choose accountability, humanity, and mercy. Florida already has the option of life without parole, which ensures accountability and public safety without resorting to another killing.

Florida continues to move forward with executions despite growing concerns about fairness, transparency, and the accelerating pace of executions.

The death penalty is a broken and irreversible punishment that risks human error, deepens trauma, and perpetuates cycles of violence rather than ending them.

We urge Governor Ron DeSantis and the Florida Board of Executive Clemency to halt the execution of Dusty Ray Spencer and commute his sentence to life without parole.
