The murders were observed by Toni's older sister Wendi, who was finally captivated and locked up in the bathroom. Toni's two younger brothers slept in the house when the crimes were celebrated.

The Supreme Court of Florida and a Federal Court of Appeal rejected any appeal to delay James' execution.

“The problems available in the present case require the appeal test, which is not cut off by the requirements of an upcoming execution,” James' lawyer Dawn MacReady.

James' execution would be the second of the state this year after James Dennis Ford was killed in Charlotte County for murder last month. Another inmate, Michael Tanzi, 48, is to be executed on April 8 for the kidnapping and murder of a Miami woman in 2000.
